Neomyrtus  is a New Zealand endemic monotypic genus that has been assigned to the Myrtaceae tribe Myrteae. Previous phylogenetic studies using the five genetic markers ITS, ETS,  mat K,  psb A- trn H, and  rpl 16 have placed the single species  Neomyrtus pedunculata  in a clade with the New Zealand endemic  Lophomyrtus  (subtribe Ugninae), comprising the two species  L. bullata  and  L. obcordata . Examination of the single herbarium voucher (OTA 57310) representing the plant material from which the DNA for the five phylogenetic markers was obtained revealed that it had been misidentified as  Neomyrtus pedunculata  and that it actually belongs to  Lophomyrtus obcordata . We conducted a reanalysis of previously published data with new sequences from  Neomyrtus  and also undertook an analysis of 85 kbp of plastid protein coding genes from available Myrteae plastid genomes. These new phylogenetic analyses place  Neomyrtus  as sister to the New Caledonian endemic genus  Myrtastrum , and the two species of  Lophomyrtus  form a clade that is sister to the Australian endemic  Lenwebbia .  Neomyrtus  and  Lophomyrtus  are not closely related within the context of the tribe. This change to the understanding of Myrteae phylogeny is discussed in terms of available morphological character data and the biogeography of the tribe.  Myrtastrum  is currently treated as  incertae sedis  at subtribal rank, but along with  Neomyrtus  could be considered as representing a new subtribe as our analyses suggest they are not part of any of the clades hitherto recognised as subtribes.
