Nothomyrcia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Myrtaceae. The sole species in the genus is Nothomyrcia fernandeziana.[2] It is a tree endemic to Robinson Crusoe Island in the Juan Fernández Islands of Chile.[3]
It is a dominant species in its habitat of lowland dry forests and lower montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss. Its extent has declined through the effects of feral animals, introduced weeds, and soil erosion to a preliminary estimate of less than 100 km2.[1]
