Syzygium pallidulum is a rare tree in the myrtle family, endemic to Peninsular Malaysia, where it grows in lowland rain forest. It is not a common garden plant, so care notes come from general knowledge of tropical Syzygium trees rather than cultivation records.
Syzygium pallidulum is a species of flowering plant in the family Myrtaceae. It is a tree endemic to Peninsular Malaysia. It is known from the states of Perak and Pahang, with subpopulations in Pondok Tanjong Forest Reserve in Perak and on the banks of the Semarang River near Temerloh, Pahang. It grows in lowland rain forest. It is threatened by habitat loss, and the IUCN Red List assesses the species as Vulnerable.
The species was first described as Eugenia pallidula by Henry Nicholas Ridley in 1922. In 1997 Ian Mark Turner placed the species in genus Syzygium as S. pallidulum.
