Nestegis (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Nestegis is a genus of flowering plant in the olive family, Oleaceae. There are five species in the genus: three species are endemic to New Zealand, one can be found on New Zealand and Norfolk Island, and the single remaining species is restricted to Hawai i. The name Nestegis derives from the Greek prefix ne- (not) and stegasma (a cover), in allusion to the lack of a corolla in the type species, Nestegis apetala. The related genus Osmanthus is sometimes included here.
