Amomyrtus is a genus of flowering plants in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae described as a genus in 1948.[1][2] It is native to temperate southern South America, where it is distributed in Chile and Argentina.[3][4]
These plants produce large, white flowers with abundant pollen and fleshy black fruits containing one to three seeds. They are self-compatible.[4]
The name Amomyrtus comes from the Greek Amos, very fragrant; and Myrtus from family's name.
