From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Myrtle \Myr"tle\ (m[etil]r"t'l), n. [F. myrtil bilberry, prop.,       a little myrtle, from myrte myrtle, L. myrtus, murtus, Gr.       my`rtos; cf. Per. m[umac]rd.] (Bot.)       A species of the genus {Myrtus}, especially {Myrtus       communis}. The common myrtle has a shrubby, upright stem,       eight or ten feet high. Its branches form a close, full head,       thickly covered with ovate or lanceolate evergreen leaves. It       has solitary axillary white or rosy flowers, followed by       black several-seeded berries. The ancients considered it       sacred to Venus. The flowers, leaves, and berries are used       variously in perfumery and as a condiment, and the       beautifully mottled wood is used in turning.          Note: The name is also popularly but wrongly applied in                America to two creeping plants, the blue-flowered                periwinkle and the yellow-flowered moneywort. In the                West Indies several myrtaceous shrubs are called                myrtle.          {Bog myrtle}, the sweet gale.          {Crape myrtle}. See under {Crape}.          {Myrtle warbler} (Zo[94]l.), a North American wood warbler             ({Dendroica coronata}); -- called also {myrtle bird},             {yellow-rumped warbler}, and {yellow-crowned warbler}.          {Myrtle wax}. (Bot.) See {Bayberry tallow}, under {Bayberry}.                      {Sand myrtle}, a low, branching evergreen shrub ({Leiophyllum             buxifolium}), growing in New Jersey and southward.          {Wax myrtle} ({Myrica cerifera}).
