Noun
nyssa (plural nyssas)
- A tree of the genus Nyssa.
- 1975, Peter N. Barber, Cecil Ernest Lucas Phillips, The Trees Around Us, page 101:
- Like other nyssas, it is in nature a creature of swampy places and looks loveliest where massed close to water and reflected in it, but justifies itself elsewhere if the soil is moist and acid, succeeding in wet clay.
