Phyllanthus myrtaceus Sond.

Very like Phyllanthus hutchinsonianus, but the plants generally dioecious with scale leaf stipules not as strongly auriculate; foliage leaves not as closely distichous, the blades up to 2.8 × 2.3 cm and often broadly elliptic-ovate, glaucous beneath, occasionally retuse at the apex and truncate at the base and with up to 12 pairs of lateral nerves; female pedicels 8–14 mm long; female sepals accrescent to up to 6 × 4 mm; seeds silky-textured and brown with only 8–9 longitudinal rows of shallow closely-set reddish-brown transversely lineate tubercles on the dorsal facet, and c. 6 concentric arcs of such tubercles per ventral facet, connected by parallel transverse striae.

It is a tropical plant. It grows between 300-2,250 m above sea level.

The fruit are eaten raw as a snack.
