The macro and micromorphological characters of five selected species of Myrtaceae was examined representing five genera, two tribes and two sub- families to see if it could throw light on the general morpho-anatomical features. A general description of macro- and micro morphological characters of vegetative and floral parts is given using LM and SEM and the importance of them for the identification and distinctness between taxa is assessed by means of statistical analysis utilizing criteria from morphology and anatomy of stem, petiole, lamina, flower and seeds. The floral anatomical criteria provide data which support the appendicular nature of the inferior ovary in all the species under investigation. The dendrogram produced from the cluster analysis of all combined characters indicates that there is high degree of homoplasy amongst both morphology and anatomy of the studied taxa of tribe Myrteae with the Eucalyptus camaldulensis from tribe Leptospermeae.
