Myrtaceae is the ninth largest flowering plant family; it is
economically important in the production of timber, gums, essential
oils, fruits and spices and contains many commonly cultivated
ornamentals. This family is particularly rich in large genera,
often found in some of the world's most threatened ecosystems where
their fruits comprise an important part of the diet of primates and
birds. The similarity of Myrtaceae species is high and its
taxonomic and nomenclatural history is complex, resulting in
notorious difficulties in basic identification, inventory
compilation and floristic treatment. World Checklist of Myrtaceae
is a much needed work that lists all validly published names in the
family, providing the source of their publication and indicating
which names are currently accepted and which are synonyms. This
makes it the standard nomenclatural reference for further research
into this important family.
