'''''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.

Syzygium (from the Greek, united, referring to the calyptrate petals). Myrtaceae. Trees and shrubs of the tropics of the Old World, variously defined and by some authors made a section of Eugenia: from Eugenia proper the group differs in the united petals, the calyx truncate or with a 4-5-lobed limb and no staminal disk: fls. small, in compact clusters: fr. small 1- or 2-seeded berries. As denned by Niedenzu, the genus has about 140 species. One or two names under this genus appear in the trade. For S. jambolana, see Eugenia jambolana, p. 1163, Vol. II.

Syzygium is a genus of flowering plants that belongs to the 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. 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.[1]

Most species are evergreen trees and shrubs. 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 plants.
