Syzygium aureumis distinguished from S.grande (Wight) Walp. in having a thick ring of nectarial glands near the rim of the hypanthium and in having subglobose fruits tinged with red at ripening. Syzygium hemachandrae differs from S. assimile Thwaites in having a longer petiole, an elliptic to ovate-elliptic lamina with fewer lateral veins, a cylindrical to subcylindrical peduncle at its basal parts and approximately quadrangular secondary axes. Syzygium aureum, which was previously misidentified as Syzygium firmum Thwaites (=S. grande), is restricted to the southwestern lowland rainforests, while S. hemachandrae is confined to the moist monsoon forests of the intermediate zone of eastern Sri Lanka. Both new species were found to be included amongst the syntypes of Syzygium assimile. We therefore designate a lectotype and recircumscribe Syzygium assimile.","PeriodicalId":283489,"journal":{"name":"Gardens’ Bulletin Singapore","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125058830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Begonia obscuribracteata is similar to B. cabanillasii Y.P.Ang et al. in having suborbicular leaves that are adaxially hairy, five conspicuous wings on the ovary, and tepals that are hairy on the outside. However, it can be easily distinguished by features of its leaves, stipules, and bracts. A key to similar Begonia species with a conspicuous 5-winged ovary is provided. Begonia tandikan morphologically resembles B. beijnenii Y.P.Ang et al. but differs by having a broadly ovate (vs subrhomboid) lamina with a villous (vs glabrous) upper surface, shorter and wider stipules with aristate (vs cuspidate) apices, and minutely pilose (vs glabrous) bracts.
