Description
Summary:The genus Syzygium comprises 1200–1800 species that belong to the family Myrtaceae. It is the biggest woody genus of flowering plants in the world. It has an extensive range that spreads out from Africa and Madagascar, Asia, throughout the Pacific and the highest levels of diversity ensue from Malaysia to Australia, where numerous species are very poorly known and countless species have not been portrayed taxonomically. Syzygium cinereum (Kurz) Chantar. & J. Parn., locally known as “pokok jambu air gunung” in Malaysia, is mainly distributed in Thailand to Peninsular Malaysia (Pahang, Terengganu, Kelantan, and Sabah). It is a highly valued tree that grows in montane forest environments and is used in reforestation projects or as a component of agroforestry systems owing to its nitrogen-fixing ability, which improves soil fertility [2]. Currently, no reports was found on the chemical composition of essential oil from S. cinereum.
