Distribution
The genus is found in tropical Asia, except for Meyna tetraphylla that occurs in northeastern tropical Africa and the Comoros.
Taxonomy
Based on morphology, Meyna has been suggested as likely candidate for inclusion in the Canthium subgenus Canthium.[1] In 2004, a molecular phylogenetic study showed that Meyna tetraphylla is related to Canthium and the transfer to Canthium was suggested.[2]
Species
gollark: It's traditional.

gollark: Also, all hail our parser combinator overlords.
gollark: By "module" I take it you mean "functions with a cryptic one-letter prefix which you can #include"?
gollark: I get that bit, but it's still weird.
