Ochna Serrulata
''Ochna serrulata'' (commonly known as the small-leaved plane, carnival ochna, bird's eye bush, Mickey mouse plant or Mickey Mouse bush due to the plant's ripe blackfruit, which upside down resembles the ears of Mickey Mouse, and bright-red sepals, which resembles his trousers) is an ornamental garden plant in the family Ochnaceae which is indigenous to South Africa. It is planted in southern African gardens and is an invasive species in Australia and New Zealand. Taxonomy ''Ochna serrulata'' was first described by the German naturalist Christian Ferdinand Friedrich Hochstetter, and given its current binomial name by Wilhelm Gerhard Walpers. Its specific epithet is derived from the Latin ''serrula'' "little saw", and refers to its fine-toothed leaf margins. Description ''Ochna serrulata'' is a small shrub growing between high, although it may occasionally become a small tree up to high. The narrow leaves are oblong to elliptic and measure in length by wide, and are shi ...

Ochna Integerrima
''Ochna integerrima'', popularly called yellow ''Mai'' flower ( vi, mai vàng, ''hoa mai'', ''hoàng mai'' in southern Vietnam, although in the north, ''mai'' usually refers to ''Prunus mume''), is a plant species in the genus ''Ochna'' () and family Ochnaceae. In the wild, it is a small tree or shrub species (2-7 m tall). The timing of the yellow flowers of this plant make it very popular in southern Vietnam, where (often bonsai-style) plants are purchased during Tết. In Vietnam, the variety of ''O. integerrima'' whose flowers have five petals is called ''mai vàng'' (yellow ''mai''), whereas ''mai núi'' (mountain ''mai'') flowers have between five and nine petals. In Cambodia, it is called ''angkea'' (), ''angkeasel'' (), ''angkea loeung'' or ''kongkea'' .
