Syzygium hemilamprum, commonly known as the broad-leaved lilly pilly, blush satinash, cassowary gum, Eungella gum,[2] and treated as Acmena hemilampra in New South Wales and Queensland,[1] is a species of flowering plant in the family Myrtaceae and is native to New South Wales, Queensland and the Northern Territory.
[2][3] This lilly pilly was first formally described in 1875 by Ferdinand von Mueller and given the name Eugenia hemilampra in Flora Australiensis.
[3][7][8] Then in 2006, Lyndley Craven and Edward Sturt Biffin changed von Mueller's E. hemilampra to Syzygium hemilamprum in the journal Blumea.
[1] Often seen on sand by the sea in littoral rainforests, it reaches its best development in the red/brown volcanic soils, such as around the Mount Warning caldera.
The natural range of distribution is from Yamba to Cape York Peninsula in the far north eastern tip of Australia.
