Syzygium fratris
Syzygium fratris is a small tree from a single mountain peak in Queensland, Australia, classified as critically endangered and rarely grown outside its native range. It is not a commonly grown garden or houseplant, so care advice below is general guidance for the genus.
Syzygium fratris, also known as brotherly love lilly pilly, is a species of plants in the clove family Myrtaceae endemic to Queensland, Australia. Its natural range is restricted to a single mountain peak, and it has been classified as critically endangered. It was first described in 2003.
The natural range of this species is very small, with an area of occupancy of just 16 km2 (6.2 sq mi). It is entirely restricted to the top of Mount Bartle Frere at altitudes between 1,400 and 1,500 m (4,600 and 4,900 ft), where it grows in stunted windswept forest.
