  Heteropyxis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Heteropyxis is a genus which includes three species of small evergreen trees, the sole genus in family Heteropyxidaceae.
The species of Heteropyxis are native to southern Africa.
Recent embryological and DNA analyses seem to indicate that Heteropyxis and Psiloxylon, the sole member of family Psiloxylaceae are sister taxa to the Myrtaceae, but diverged before the origin of the common ancestor of the Myrtaceae.

Lippia oatessi, Cympopogan citratus and Heteropyxis natalensis oils were incorporated into dermatological formulations for their antimicrobial effects.
Stability tests to evaluate the rancidity, separation and moisturising effect of the lotion were done on different environmental conditions and the stability of the lotion was determined every week for six weeks.

All of these embryological characteristics are apomorphic features; they contrast with many other characteristics of the genus, such as its completely superior ovary and separate staminal traces, which are clearly primitive ones.
Like the unique monotypic Psiloxylon, an endemic of Mauritius, Heteropyxis clearly diverged early from the evolutionary line leading to Myrtaceae before the origin of the common ancestor of that family (excluding Heteropyxis and Psiloxylon).
Heteropyxis could logically be regarded either as a subfamily of Myrtaceae distinct from all other members of the family or as a separate but related family.

Swaziland’s forests can be divided into three broad categories, namely: afromontane forests (mostly at altitudes above 1000 m), riverine forests (mostly at altitudes below 900 m) and forests in the Lubombo Mountains.
Typical plant species include Englerophytum magalismontanum, Syzygium cordatum, Syzygium gerrardii, Psychotria capensis, Diospyros whyteana, Maesa lanceolata, Cussonia spp., Gymnosporia mossambicensis, Heteropyxis spp., Peddiea africana, Scolopia spp., Trichocladus grandiflorus, Ficus spp., Dalbergia armata, Xymalos monospora, Combretum kraussi, Clausena anisata, and Rhus spp..

This gave some novel results that have since been supported by DNA studies.
These include distinguishing a Myrtacean clade including Psiloxylon, Heteropyxis and Myrtaceae within Myrtales and abandoning the subfamilies Myrtoideae and Leptospermoideae.
We emphasised the lack of close relationship between the sometimes confused Eugenia and Syzygium, the distinctness and antiquity of the eucalypt lineage, and the polyphyletic nature of the assemblage of genera formerly referred to as the Chamelaucioideae.
