Syzygium is the largest genus of Myrtaceae in Malesia with between 500 and 1000 species; the full range of the genus is from Africa east to the Hawaiian Islands and from India-southern China south to New Zealand.
Syzygium especially is an important element in the rainforest ecosystem, being a food source for blossom-feeding and fruit-eating animals.
Due to the inherent difficulties in writing identification keys for the often very inadequate specimens that people need to name, development of interactive identification systems will be given high priority.

 Syzygium wilsonii - Growing Native Plants
This species is endemic to the far north Queensland rainforests, from Ingham to Cooktown, in lowland rainforests from sea level to 600-700m, growing in relatively poor soils.
Syzygium species also often get infestations of fl scale; the best way to control this is to use either white oil or diluted detergent.
This species is an excellent ornamental plant for a garden with its showy red puffy flowers, reddish brown new foliage and clusters of white fruits.
