Myrtaceae, tribe Syzygieae
The myrtle family, is a family of dicotyledonous plants. All species are woody, contain essential oils, and have flower parts in multiples of four or five. Syzygieae is a tribe of flowering plants that belongs to the myrtle family, Myrtaceae. Most species are evergreen trees and shrubs. Several species are grown as ornamental plants for their attractive glossy foliage, and a few produce edible fruits called roseapples that are eaten fresh or used in jams and jellies. Fifty-two species are found in Australia and are generally known as lillipillies, brush cherries or satinash. NOTE: Movement of tree stock within this Family is controlled across Australian state borders due to the risk posed by Myrtle rust (Austropuccinia psidii).
