Syzygium nervosum is a species of tree native to tropical Asia and Australia, extending as far north as Guangdong and Guangxi in China and as far south as the Northern Territory of Australia.[2] It was previously known as Cleistocalyx operculatus, C. nervosum, and Eugenia operculata, and it has many other synonyms. It is a medium-sized tree of about 10 meters in height with pale brown bark and dull green leaves.

Description

[edit]

The leaves of S. nervosum are elliptical, obovate and glabrous, measuring 7–9 cm in length. Flowers cluster as greenish white trichomatous panicles. The blossoms have 4 petals. The 7–12 mm diameter fruits are ovoid with a concave tip and a wrinkled texture. The fruits turn purplish upon ripening.

Uses

[edit]

In Vietnam the leaves and buds of S. nervosum are harvested, dried, and brewed as an herbal tea known as "nước vối" with stomachic properties.[4]
