'''''Syzygium luehmannii''''', also known as '''riberry''', '''small leaved lilly pilly''', '''cherry satinash''', '''cherry alder''', or '''clove lilli pilli''', is a tree species [[endemic (ecology)|pesaendemic]] to Australian riverine, littoral and subtropical rainforest <ref> Floyd, A.G., ''Rainforest Trees of Mainland South-eastern Australia''. </ref>. It is grown for its small pear-shaped fruits known as ''riberries''.

The tree can grow to 30 metres <ref> Floyd, A.G., ''Rainforest Trees of Mainland South-eastern Australia''. </ref> in height in the rainforest, but commonly only reaches 7 metres in cultivation. The small, glossy, lance-shaped leaves are pink/red when they are young. A cream coloured flower is followed by bunches of pink to red pear-shaped berries about 13 mm long.

The berry has a tart, cranberry-like flavor, that has a hint of cloves. It has been popular as a gourmet [[bushfood]] since the early 1980’s, and is commercially cultivated on a small-scale basis. The fruit is most commonly used to make a distinctively flavoured jam, and is also used in sauces, syrups and confectionery. The riberry plant is also very popular as a garden ornamental and street tree. It is easily maintained as a smaller tree by light pruning.
