≡ Myrtus poimbailensis Guillaumin in Bull. Soc. Bot. France 85: 633. 1939.

≡ Austromyrtus poimbailensis (Guillaumin) Burret in Notizbl. Bot. Gart. Berlin-Dahlem 15: 505. 1941.

Note. ‒ The 4-merous flowers, globular seeds, dibrachiate hairs on the emerging foliage, and the relatively new understanding that Myrtus L. is confined to Europe and North Africa (Snow et al., 2003), support the transfer of this taxon into Eugenia .
