About

Syzygium apodophyllum, commonly known as rex satinash, is a tree in the clove and eucalyptus family Myrtaceae endemic to northeast Queensland, Australia. The fruit is edible. It is a host for the exotic plant-pathogen fungus Austropuccinia psidii, which is causing a lot of damage to vegetation communities and economic plants.

Where it grows

The tree is endemic to Queensland, Australia, growing in the coastal areas from near Rossville in the north to about Mission Beach in the south, with a small outlier population near Coen about 300 km (190 mi) to the northwest of Rossville. It inhabits well-developed rainforest at altitudes up to about 1,500 m (4,900 ft), but tends to be more common in the higher part of its range.

Uses

This plant is generally a small and not well-developed tree (i.e. it is not that straight in its growth, nor producing long sections). It is regarded as of no commercial value.
