01Narrative

Archirhodomyrtus beckleri, the "small-leaved myrtle", or "rose myrtle", is a shrub or small tree native to rainforest areas of eastern Australia. Rose myrtle leaves are 2–8 cm long and 1.5-2.5 cm wide, lanceolate, glossy and pleasantly fragrant when crushed. Flowers are 1 cm across, white, mauve or pink. The edible berry is 0.5-0.8 cm across, globular, yellow orange or red, containing numerous small seeds.Elliot, W.R., and Jones, D.L., Encyclopaedia of Australian Plants, 1982,

05DNA & barcoding8 specimens

A DNA barcode is a short, standardised stretch of genes that works like a fingerprint — enough to tell one species from another. Below is the molecular trace Archirhodomyrtus beckleri has left across the world's sequence archives.

09Environmental DNA5 detections

Where the DNA of Archirhodomyrtus beckleri was picked up in samples of water, soil or air — nobody saw the organism, only its DNA left behind. A trace is a clue that the species was near, not a confirmed sighting.

How to read this: each dot is one detection of this species' DNA in an environmental sample. The confidence meter weighs how many independent studies and places back up the signal — one detection in one study is a hint; many across several studies is solid. Records dated before 2008 (when eDNA methods began) are treated as likely mislabeled and left off the map.
