Myrceugenia is a genus of evergreen woody flowering trees and shrubs belonging to the myrtle family, Myrtaceae, first described as a genus in 1855. The genus is native to South America from central Brazil to southern Chile. It is closely related to the genus Luma; some botanists include Myrceugenia in that genus.
Myrceugenia schulzei is endemic to Alejandro Selkirk Island in the Juan Fernández Islands, located in the Pacific Ocean west of the Chilean coast. 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. Both are prominent trees in the lowland and lower montane forests of the islands.
