Myrceugenia is a genus of evergreen woody flowering trees and shrubs belonging to the myrtle family, Myrtaceae, first described as a genus in 1855.[2][3] The genus is native to South America from central Brazil to southern Chile.[4] It is closely related to the genus Luma; some botanists include Myrceugenia in that genus.[5]
Myrceugenia schulzei is endemic to Alejandro Selkirk Island in the Juan Fernández Islands, located in the Pacific Ocean west of the Chilean coast.[4] Nothomyrcia fernandeziana, which is endemic to nearby Robinson Crusoe Island, was formerly placed in Myrceugenia but is now considered the sole species of genus Northomyrcia.[6] Both are prominent trees in the lowland and lower montane forests of the islands.
