Ochna
Ochna are a genus made up of flowering trees, shrubs, and dwarf shrubs. Some of the species in the genus bear fruit that resemble a head with ears, which is why they're sometimes called "Mickey-mouse plants." The Latin name Ochna comes from the Greek word for “wild pear,” referring to the pear-shaped leaves. Many genus members add ornamental value to the garden and supply nutritious nectar to various pollinators.
