Distribution

This group is distributed in approximately 53 countries of the Old World tropics and occupies a wide range of habitats. ''Memecylon'' taxa have been reported from montane forests, tropical lowland forests, grasslands, tropical rainforests with low to high rainfall, rocky mountain regions and regions with low to high temperature and a considerable overlap between ranges of different taxa. Most of the plants in this group are regionally or locally

and seed characters. Subsequent treatments preferred to treat ''Memecylon'' as a member of Myrtaceae. Again, this group has been included in Melastomataceae by Cronquist . After that, morphological and

character analysis of the Melastomataceae and their traditional allies by Renner identified two major lineages (Melastomataceae and Memecylaceae), and in that classification, ''Memecylon'' was placed in the Memecylaceae.

However, in ''Memecylon'' some characters such as seasonal flowering and small size of flowers contributed to the difficulty of assessing relationships based on the morphology.
