Abstract

Genus Syzygium is the largest genus within the family Myrtaceae found in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Members of the genus are known for their medicinal value. Popularly used for the treatment of diabetes. Family Myrtaceae are known vexing with replating, nomenclatural proactive, and problematic systematic classification. Syzygium is regularly misidentified in ecological inventories which caused serious problems for biodiversity management. The study aimed to evaluate the anatomical features of Syzygium myrtifolium. Macroscopic and microscopic analysis was utilized. The anatomical features revealed an open system of the vascular bundle at the midrib and a closed system of the vascular bundle at the petiole. Diagnostic characters from morphoanatomy would serve as markers for the identification of the species. The above information will serve as a baseline for feature research in natural development.
