Syzygium eucalyptoides Leaves


Common Names: Native Apple, Bush Apple
Species: Syzygium eucalyptoides
Family: MYRTACEAE

This species, Syzygium eucalyptoides, really took me by surprise when I came across it. Fitting to its species name eucalyptoides, when I saw this plant I was sure that this was a species of Eucalyptus and not Syzygium, a genus I'm more familiar with from various glossy-leaved rainforest lily-pillies.
