Psiloxylon and Heteropyxis comprise a robust clade, basal to representatives of Myrtaceae s. str., and strongly clustered with it. In a limited sample of Myitaceae s. str., several strongly supported groups are identified: the myrtoid genera (excluding Syzygium), representatives of the Chamelaucium alliance, and the Chamelaucium plus Leptospennum alliances.
