  Myrtaceae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Myrtaceae or Myrtle family are a family of dicotyledon plants, placed within the order Myrtales.
The division of the Myrtaceae into the Leptospermoideae and Myrtoideae was challenged by a number of authors, including Johnson and Briggs (1984), who identified 14 tribes or clades within the Myrtaceae, and found the Myrtoideae to be polyphyletic.
The genera Heteropyxis and Psiloxylon, which some authorities include in Myrtaceae, are here placed as separate families, based on evidence of their divergence before the origin of the common ancestor of the Myrtaceae.

In Myrtaceae the calyx and corolla originate at about the same time, while in Lythraceae and Onagraceae the calyx is visible considerably before the corolla (Mayr 1969); it will be interesting to know the general distribution of this feature.
Myrtaceae + Vochysiaceae: hairs simple, 1-2-celled; K and C imbricate, pollen syncolporate; style depressed in apex of gynoecium; fruit a capsule.
Myrtaceae are recognisable by their flaky bark, their entire, punctate leaves, and their imbricate calyx, often rather fugaceous corolla, and androecium with numerous stamens each often with an apical gland.

The Myrtaceae is a "Gondwanan" family of the Southern Hemisphere.
The Myrtaceae is regarded generally as an ectomycorrhizal family, based largely on work on a single genus, Eucalyptus, but many members of the family including those in Eucalyptus may also form vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizas (VAM).
We are currently evaluating other genera in the Myrtaceae to assess their ectomycorrhizal/VAM status.
