Type citation: “Hab. forests in the Central Province(Deltota), at an elevation of 3000 to 5000 feet.” Lectotype(designated by Kostermans 1981): Thwaites CeylonPlants 2452(PDA!; isolectotypeMH, BM!).  Distribution:— India[ Kerala, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu] and Sri Lanka; 400‒1300 m. Notes:—The sheet at Kew marked as Wight Catalogue Number 1072appears to comprise more than one collection and, as a result, has two separate barcodes attached. Of the four specimenson the sheet, we have chosen the lower right hand element because it most closely resembles figure 538 published later by Wight (1842)in his Icones. Kostermans (1981: 143)effectively lectotypified  Syzygium lissophyllumby designating Thwaites CeylonPlants 2452( McNeill et al.2012, article 9.9) in his treatment. Kostermans (1981)accepted  Syzygium lissophyllumas a distinct species in contrast with earlier workers who had placed it in the synonymy of  Syzygium rubicundum. This needs further investigation, but it is possible that Kostermans was in error because he did not see the typeof the latter species and based his decision solely on Wight’s plate (1842: t. 538).
