Two species are endemic to the Juan Fernández Islands in the Pacific Ocean west of the Chilean coast. [3] Myrceugenia fernandeziana is endemic to Robinson Crusoe Island and M. schulzei to Alejandro Selkirk Island, where they are prominent trees in the lowland and lower montane forests of the islands.
