Myrtle leaf

The Australian myrtle leaf (Backhousia myrtifolia) is a rich source of phenylpropanoid essential oils, particularly elemicin and methyl eugenol (Brophy et al. 1995). 

Essential oils from oregano herb (0. onite, laurel leaf (Lauras nobili, sage leaf (Salvia fruticosa), fennel fruit (Eoeniculum vulgare), myrtle leaf (JHyrtus communi , and citrus peel (rich in limonene) were mixed and formulated as feed additive after encapsulation. It is marketed in Turkey as poultry feed under the name Herbromix. 

Kelly Putters of Oregon produces a variety of putters made from catalyst-heat wood-plastics using myrtle wood and broad leaf maple which is native to the state. The light and dark wavy grains of these two woods are enhanced by the plastic treatment and have a three dimensional depth in their natural color. Several other golf club manufacturers have made small quantities of wood-plastic laminated birch and solid persimmon drivers for market studies. The dimensional stability of the wood-plastic composite is important during the manufacturing when the various face and base plates are inserted.

Species of the Myrtaceae are noted for leaf dimorphism the leaves produced when the plants are young tend to be round and held closely to the branch, while leaves produced when the plants are mature are much longer and thinner. Whether juvenile or adult, the leaves of plants in the myrtle family are opposite. Whenever a leaf is found on one side of the stem, another leaf is found on the opposite side. 

Myrtaceae (myrtle), and Rutaceae (citrus) plant families. Table 1 provides examples of a few of the better known essential oils, the plants from which they are derived, and the major constituents found in each of these oils. It is important to note that the composition of these oils can vary dramatically, even within species. Factors impacting the composition include the part of the plant from which the oil is extracted (i.e., leaf tissue, fruits, stem, etc.), the phenological state of the plant, the season, the climate, the soil type, and other factors. As an example, rosemary oil collected from plants in two areas of Italy were demonstrated to vary widely in the concentrations of two major constituents, 1,8-cineole (7% to 55%) and a-pinene (11% to 30%) [6]. Such variation is not uncommon and has also been described for the oils derived from Ocimum basilicum [7] and Myrtus communis [8].
