•Ecological factors drive Myrteae phenology in Atlantic forest.•Conservative flowering was found in the Gomidesia group.•Taxa grouped by embryo shape diverge in the fruiting time.•Seed germination requirement affect fruiting phenology.•Clades with conservative phenology should guide conservation ini...
