'''''Syzygium''''' is a [[genus]] of [[flowering plant]]s that belongs to the [[Myrtus|myrtle]] family, [[Myrtaceae]]. The genus comprises about 1100 species, and has a native range that extends from [[Africa]] and [[Madagascar]] through southern [[Asia]] east through the [[Pacific Ocean|Pacific]]. Its highest levels of diversity occur from [[Malaysia]] to northeastern [[Australia]], where many species are very poorly known and many more have not been described taxonomically. 62 species are found in Australia and are generally known as '''lillipillies''', '''brush cherries''' or '''satinash'''.<ref name=EJ10>{{cite book |author=Eliot Rodger W.; Jones, David L.; Blake, Trevor |title=Encyclopaedia of Australian Plants Suitable for Cultivation: Volume 9 – Sp-Z|year=2010 |publisher=Lothian Press |location=Port Melbourne |isbn=0-7344-0974-4|pages=160–61}}</ref> Most species are [[evergreen]] [[tree]]s and [[shrub]]s. Several species are grown as ornamental plants for their attractive glossy foliage, and a few produce edible fruit that are eaten fresh or used in jams and jellies, although the most economically important species is the [[clove]] ''Syzygium aromaticum'', of which the unopened [[flower]] buds are an important [[spice]]. Some of the edible species of ''Syzygium'' are planted throughout the tropics worldwide. At times ''Syzygium'' was confused taxonomically with the genus ''[[Eugenia]]'' (ca. 1000 species), but the latter genus has its highest specific diversity in the [[neotropics]]. ''Syzygium'' and ''Eugenia'' are among the most poorly known of the large (> 500 species) genera of [[vascular plant]]s. ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Species== ;Selected species * ''[[Syzygium ampliflorum]]'' * ''[[Syzygium amplifolium]]'' * ''[[Syzygium andamanicum]]'' * ''[[Syzygium anisatum]]'' * ''[[Syzygium aqueum]]'' ([[Water apple|Water Apple]], Bell fruit, Water cherry, Watery rose apple) * ''[[Syzygium australe]]'' ([[Brush Cherry]] (Aust.)) * ''[[Syzygium aromaticum]]'' ([[Clove]]) * ''[[Syzygium beddomei]]'' * ''[[Syzygium benthamianum]]'' * ''[[Syzygium bourdillonii]]'' * ''[[Syzygium caryophyllatum]]'' * ''[[Syzygium chavaran]]'' * ''[[Syzygium cordatum]]'' (Hute, Waterbessie, umdoni, water berry, umSwi) * ''[[Syzygium corynanthum]]'' (Sour cherry) * ''[[Syzygium corynocarpa]]'' (A.Gray) C.Muell. * ''[[Syzygium courtallense]]'' * ''[[Syzygium crebrinerve]]'' (Purple cherry) * ''[[Syzygium cumini]]'' ([[Jambul]], [[Jambolan]], Black plum, Damson plum, Duhat plum, Jambolan plum, Java plum, Malabar plum, Portuguese plum) * ''[[Syzygium curanii]]'' ([[Lipote]]) * ''[[Syzygium cyclophyllum]]'' * ''[[Syzygium densiflorum]]'' * ''[[Syzygium diffusum]]'' * ''[[Syzygium discophorum]]'' * ''[[Syzygium erythrocalyx]]'' (Johnstones River Satinash) * ''[[Syzygium fergusonii]]'' * ''[[Syzygium fibrosum]]'' * ''[[Syzygium fijiense]]'' * ''[[Syzygium forte]]'' ([[White Apple]]) * ''[[Syzygium francisii]]'' (Giant water gum) * ''[[Syzygium gambleanum]]'' * ''[[Syzygium gracilipes]]'' * ''[[Syzygium guehoi]]'' * ''[[Syzygium guineese]]'' (Waterberry) * ''[[Syzygium hodgkinsoniae]]'' (Red lilly pilly) * ''[[Syzygium jambos]]'' (Roseapple, Malabar plum, Plum rose, Rose apple, Water apple) * ''[[Syzygium luehmannii]]'' ([[Riberry]], Cherry Satinash) * ''[[Syzygium maire]]'' * ''[[Syzygium malaccense]]'' ([[Malay Apple]], [[Malacca apple]], Malay rose apple, Mountain apple, Otaheite cashew, Rose apple, Water apple) * ''[[Syzygium makul]]'' * ''[[Syzygium manii]]'' * ''[[Syzygium micranthum]]'' * ''[[Syzygium microphyllum]]'' * ''[[Syzygium minus]]'' * ''[[Syzygium moorei]]'' (Coolamon) * ''[[Syzygium myhendrae]]'' * ''[[Syzygium neesianum]]'' * ''[[Syzygium occidentale]]'' * ''[[Syzygium oleosum]]'' [[Blue Lilly Pilly]] * ''[[Syzygium oliganthum]]'' * ''[[Syzygium palghatense]]'' * ''[[Syzygium paniculatum]]'' (Magenta [[lillypilly]] (Aust.)) * ''[[Syzygium parameswaranii]]'' * ''[[Syzygium papyraceum]]'' [[Australia]] * ''[[Syzygium phaeophyllum]]'' * ''[[Syzygium phyllyraeoides]]'' * ''[[Syzygium polyanthum]]'' (Indian [[bay leaf]], Indonesian bay leaf, Salam leaf, daun salam, Indonesian laurel) * ''[[Syzygium pondoense]]'' * ''[[Syzygium purpureum]]'' * ''[[Syzygium pseudofastigiatum]]'' [[Australia]] * ''[[Syzygium quadrangulatum]]'' (A.Gray) Merr. & L.M.Perry * ''[[Syzygium ramavarma]]'' * ''[[Syzygium richii]]'' (A.Gray) Merr. & L.M.Perry * ''[[Syzygium rotundifolium]]'' * ''[[Syzygium samarangense]]'' ([[Java Apple]], [[Makopa]], Java rose apple, Samarang rose apple, Water apple, Wax jambu, [[Wax apple]]) *''[[Syzygium sandwicensis]]'' ({{okina}}ōhi{{okina}}a ha)<ref>{{cite paper |url=http://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/forestry/data/CommonTreesHI/CFT_Eugenia_sandwicensis.pdf |format=[[PDF]] |title=‘Ōhi‘a ha |first=Elbert L. |last=Little Jr. |coauthors=Roger G.
