Myrceugenia fernandeziana is a species of plant in the Myrtaceae family. It is endemic to Robinson Crusoe Island in the Pacific, part of the Republic of Chile.[1] It is threatened by habitat loss.[2] It is a dominant species in its habitat of lowland dry forests and lower montane forests.[2] Its extent has declined through the effects of feral animals, introduced weeds, and soil erosion to a preliminary estimate of less than 100 km2.[2]
