31. Myrtaceae Area

This section is dedicated to species belonging to some of the most significant genera of Myrtaceae family. In particular, in this area, we cultivate genus Angophora, but above all various species of Eucalyptus, a well-known genus of Australian trees, some of which are now naturalized in Italy. Additionally, the myrtle (Myrtus communis), a shrub of the Mediterranean maquis, can be observed here.
