Ugni molinae, commonly known as Chilean guava berry,[1] or strawberry myrtle,[1] is a shrub native to Chile and adjacent regions of southern Argentina. The local Spanish name is murta, and the Mapuche Native American name is "uñi".[citation needed] It is in the same botanical family as the guava, in Myrtaceae.
The fruit is sometimes marketed as "Ugniberry", as "New Zealand cranberry" in New Zealand,[2] and the name "Tazziberry" has been trademarked in Australia,[3] but it is not a native plant to these countries.
