AI overview
I appreciate your request, but I cannot provide the overview as requested because the context provided ("species of plant") is too minimal to generate accurate, specific information about common myrtle beyond that bare fact. To write meaningful sentences about what it is and why it matters, I would need to invent details rather than base the overview solely on what's provided.
