Botanical Identity
Myrtle belongs to the Myrtaceae family. Its accepted botanical name is Myrtus communis L.
Common names include myrtle, common myrtle and true myrtle. Mirto and myrte are names encountered in some European markets. In Persian, the plant is known as Murd (مورد), and the leaves as Barg-e-Murd (برگ مورد).
Common names can be shared among different plants, so the botanical name and plant part should appear on purchasing specifications and supporting documentation.
This product page covers dried leaves of Myrtus communis. Myrtle berries, essential oil and processed extracts are separate commercial materials requiring their own specifications.
For botanical reference, see Kew’s Plants of the World Online.
Product Form and Physical Characteristics
This product is offered as dried myrtle leaves and leaf fragments. The leaves are generally narrow to oval with pointed tips, while drying and handling may produce curled leaves and smaller fragments.
Colour, aroma, fragmentation and the proportion of stems or twigs may vary between batches. Physical appearance and aromatic characteristics should be assessed against a representative sample.
Please specify your requirements for:
- Leaf condition and general appearance
- Whole-leaf and fragmented-material proportions
- Cut size, where required
- Colour range and discoloured material
- Characteristic myrtle aroma
- Stem and twig content
- Fine material and powder
- Moisture content
- Foreign matter and damaged material
- Any additional cleaning, sorting or preparation requirements
The selected sample and agreed specification define the material supplied. Drying method, microbial-reduction treatment and any additional processing should be confirmed where relevant to the intended application.
Applications
Dried myrtle leaves provide botanical raw material for several professional processing routes:
- Distillation trials for myrtle leaf essential oil
- Extraction for further botanical ingredient manufacture
- Development of aromatic ingredients for fragrance formulations
- Evaluation of processed botanical ingredients for cosmetic and personal-care products
- Development of flavouring infusions and other food ingredients where suitable for the intended market and process
Extraction performance, aromatic profile and volatile-oil yield depend on the selected batch and processing method. Buyers should evaluate a representative sample before establishing production parameters.
Dried leaves should not be assigned the same concentration, composition or handling instructions as a finished essential oil or standardized extract.
Suitability for food, cosmetic or other applications depends on the agreed specification, preparation method and destination-market requirements.

Packaging and Storage
