The diverse floral structures of Australian Myrtaceae are discussed in relation to pollination biology, breeding systems, and ecological and evolutionary relationships. Although the reproductive biology of Eucalyptus has been studied widely, little is known about many of the other genera. The review concludes that additional work is needed on aspects of flower structure, pollination biota, late acting self-incompatibility, secondary pollen presentation and reproductive success.
