wax myrtle

Evergreen bush or tree Myrica cerifera of the barberry family, native to southeastern North America. Its fruit consists of greyish nutlets coated with a wax that is collected for making scented candles; 0.5 kg/1 lb of nutlets immersed in hot water yields about 115 g/4 oz of wax. The fruit is eaten by ground-dwelling birds such as the bobwhite and wild turkey.
