Melicope
Melicope est genus quod 230 fere species fruticum arborumque familiae Rutacearum continet, ab Insulis Havaianis trans Oceanum Pacificum ad tropicas Asiae, Australiae, Novaeque Zelandiae regiones inventarum. Plantis huius generis sunt folia simplicia aut trifoliata paribus oppositis ordinata, flores in paniculis ordinati, quibus sunt quattuor sepala, quattuor petala, et quattuor aut octo stamina, ac fructus folliculis usque ad quattuor compositi.

Descriptio
Plantis generis Melicopis sunt folia simplicia aut trifoliata paribus oppositis ordinata, vel aliquando verticillata. Flores paniculis ordinantur, et bisexuales aut aliquando sexu uno sunt, aut mare aut femineo. Floribus sunt quattuor sepala et quattuor aut octo stamina. Quattuor (aliquando quinque) carpella in basi funduntur cum stylis fusis, ubi stigma apicis styli simile est. Fructus in folliculis usque ad quattuor in basi fusis consistit, alicui folliculae uno aut duobus seminibus.

Taxinomia
Genus Melicope primum anno 1775 a Ioanne Reinhold Forster et Georgio Forster filio rite descriptum est in eorum libro Characteres Generum Plantarum, et typus generis, prima species quam descripserunt, erat Melicope ternata.

Melicope nomen genericum a vocabulis Graecis μελι 'mele + κοπη 'divisione' (ad glandulas ad basim ovarii inventas attingente) derivatur. Systema Takhtajanum genus in tribum Zanthocylearum subfamiliae Rutoidearum digerit.

Oecologia
Melicopes sunt victus variorum animalium, plerumque invertebratorum. Larvae Papilionis ulyssis Melicopen elleryanam petunt. Larvae lepidopterorum generis Thyrocopae inter Melicopen clusiifoliam inventae sunt. Larvae nonnullarum curculionoideorum familiae Belidarum etiam Melicope vescuntur, quamquam plantas infirmas, moribundas, mortuasque malunt.

Conservatio
Nonnullae species Havaianae periclitatae a rectione Civitatum Foederatarum appellantur propter detrimentum habitationis et provocationes plantarum invasivarum et non endemicarum. Nonnullae species iam sunt exstinctae.
