Order

Common name: Myrtales

Scientific name: Myrtales

Myrtales is an order of flowering plants that includes a variety of terrestrial species, such as the myrtle family (Myrtaceae), which is known for its aromatic leaves and includes the popular true myrtle. This order is not typically found in reef aquariums as it comprises mostly terrestrial plants. However, hobbyists interested in biotope aquariums that replicate brackish environments may find some marginal plants from this order that can adapt to such conditions.
