}}Myrtus communis, the common myrtle, is a species of flowering plant in the myrtle family Myrtaceae. It is an evergreen shrub native to southern Europe, north Africa, western Asia, Macaronesia, and the Indian Subcontinent, and also cultivated.[2]

It is one of the four species used by Jews in their religious rituals on the festival of Sukkot.

For uses, see Myrtus.
