Abstract

Four new species of Syzygium (Myrtaceae) are described for Papua New Guinea: Syzygium cravenii, S. kuiense, S. lababiense, and S. pterotum. Syzygium platycarpum (Diels) Merr. & L.M.Perry is described and discussed because this species is inadequately known, with last known collection of this species from Papua New Guinea in 1919 and from Indonesian Papua in 1926.
