Description:
The furfuraceous species of Syzygium subg. Syzygium in Papuasia are revised. The scurfy, furfuraceous
epidermis that is a feature of the inflorescence branches and sometimes also of the hypanthium, the commonly
chestnut brown colour of the dried leaves, and the reduced calyx that occurs in many species are characteristic
features of the group. Within this subgenus, a new section Furfuraceum is described to accommodate these
morphologically recognisable species. Descriptions are provided for each of the 40 species recognised, 28 of which
are new. An identification key, distribution maps and an index to numbered exsiccatae are provided.
