Definition
- 1Nom usuel de Azadirachta indica arbre à feuilles caduques de la famille des méliacées (Meliaceae) originaire d'Inde où il est connu sous le nom de neem, dont toutes les parties de la plante ont une forte teneur en azadirachtine, un limonoïde ayant des propriétés insectifuges et une toxicité élevée. Ses fleurs, petites, mauve violacé et parfumées, poussant en panicules le font ressembler à un lilas et ses fruits sont arrondis et jaunes.
- 2Synonyme fréquent d'azédarach (Melia azedarach), qu'on appelle aussi arbre à chapelet ou faux neem; on le distingue alors du "vrai" margousier par le nom spécifique de margousier à feuilles de frêne.
