  • Like many plants in the genus Myrica, Red Bayberry has been placed, by some taxonomists, in the genus Morella, hence Morella rubra.  This is the accepted designation in the ITIS (Integrated Taxonomic Information System).  However, the WFO  Plant List (https://wfoplantlist.org/plant-list/), as of 2023, gives this latter name only as a synonym for Myrica rubra.
