Punica
Punica is a small genus of fruit-bearing deciduous shrubs or small trees. Its best known species is the pomegranate. The only other species in the genus, the Socotra pomegranate, is endemic to the island of Socotra. It differs in having pink flowers and smaller, less sweet fruit. Although previously placed in its own family Punicaceae, recent phylogenetic studies have shown that Punica belongs in the family Lythraceae, and it is classified in that family by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group. The name is derived from the Latin word for the pomegranate, malum punicum, meaning "Carthaginian apple".
