'''''Syncarpia''''' is a small [[genus]] of [[tree]]s in the myrtle family ([[Myrtaceae]]). They are native to [[Queensland]] and [[New South Wales]] in [[Australia]]. They are unusual among the ''Myrtaceae'' in that the leaves are opposite rather than alternate as is the norm for the family. The species are commonly known as turpentine trees due to the odour of their resin. {{Inc| Syncarpia (Greek, together and fruit, referring to the head-like clusters of caps.). Myrtaceae.
