These species are native to tropical woodlands of Africa, the Mascarenes and Asia.[2] Species of this genus are usually called ochnas, bird's-eye bushes or Mickey-mouse plants, a name derived from the shape of the drupelet fruit. The name of this genus comes from the Greek word Ochne, used by Homer and meaning wild pear, as the leaves are similar in appearance. Some species, including Ochna integerrima (yellow Mai flower) and O. serrulata (bird's eye plant), are cultivated as decorative plants. DistributionSpecies of this genus are found in the Old World Tropics, especially in Africa, Madagascar, the Mascarene Islands and Asia. Selected species
