Etymology

Turreae looks like it comes from the Latin turris meaning 'tower', so a helpful way to remember it is to think of these plants as little 'towers' of shiny leaves and star-shaped, sweet-smelling flowers. That's why Turreae is an easy name for a group of tropical trees and shrubs grown for their glossy leaves and lasting fragrance.
