“…The majority of the Syzygium species in the Malesian region fall within Indonesia, with over 300 Syzygium species estimated to occur in the country ( Craven , 2001; BGCI, 2022; POWO, 2022). Nevertheless, the inventory of Syzygium in Indonesia is incomplete, considering many parts of the country are poorly botanised ( Frodin , 2001; Middleton et al, 2019; Cámara-Leret et al, 2020) and many new species have been discovered since the 2000s, including: ten species from Sumatra ( Widodo et al, 2010; Widodo , 2011; Widodo & Chikmawati , 2016; Widodo & Lucas , 2018), six from Sulawesi ( Brambach et al, 2017; Sunarti , 2020), nine from Indonesian New Guinea ( Snow & Craven , 2010; Hambali et al, 2017; Craven , 2019; Mustaqim et al, 2020; Craven et al, 2021), and one from Lesser Sunda Islands ( Sunarti et al, 2022).…”

Syzygium setosum (King) I.M. Turner (Myrtaceae), a poorly known peat swamp tree endemic to Peninsular Malaysia, is recorded for the first time in Sumatra, Indonesia. This study was conducted based on morphological characters examined on herbarium specimens of the taxon preserved at various herbaria pertinent to the Southeast Asian flora. The description of S. setosum is amended following the new collections from Peninsular Malaysia and Sumatra. The distribution of this obligate peat swamp species is updated and includes the eastern side of Sumatra and the western side of Peninsular Malaysia. The conservation status of the taxon is assessed. With the available data, the taxon is provisionally assigned here as "Endangered" [EN] with the main threat coming from habitat loss. Field images of the taxon from Sumatra are provided. A lectotype is designated here for Eugenia setosa King.

“…The Myrtaceae is a large and diverse family found on all continents except Antarctica, though occurring mainly in tropical and temperate regions of the Southern Hemisphere [1]. The family includes more than 6000 species [2] and new species continue to be discovered in remote tropical forests, with many still to be formally identified to species level [3]. Many species have been cultivated for their timber, oils, or fruits and are economically valuable both within their country of origin and in plantations around the world.…”

The Myrtaceae is a very large and diverse family containing a number of economically and ecologically valuable species. In Australia, the family contains approximately 1700 species from 70 genera and is structurally and floristically dominant in many diverse ecosystems. In addition to threats from habitat fragmentation and increasing rates of natural disasters, infection by myrtle rust caused by Austropuccinia psidii is of significant concern to Australian Myrtaceae species. Repeated infections of new growth have caused host death and suppressed host populations by preventing seed set. Although most Myrtaceae species demonstrate orthodox seed storage behavior, exceptional species such as those with desiccation sensitive seed or from myrtle rust-suppressed populations require alternate conservation strategies such as those offered by cryobiotechnology. Targeting seven key Australian genera, we reviewed the available literature for examples of cryobiotechnology utilized for conservation of Myrtaceae. While there were only limited examples of successful cryopreservation for a few genera in this family, successful cryopreservation of both shoot tips and embryonic axes suggest that cryobiotechnology provides a viable alternative for the conservation of exceptional species and a potential safe storage method for the many Myrtaceae species under threat from A. psidii.
