Syzygium floribunda is weeping lilly pilly under the name the Australian Plant Census accepts, Syzygium floribundum, as growers spell it. The Census remarks that it is treated as Waterhousea floribunda in Queensland and New South Wales. It is the straight species: CSIRO's rainforest key places it in gallery forests and rainforests along creeks and rivers from central-east Queensland south to near Newcastle, and the New South Wales flora in riverine rainforest, north from the Hunter Valley. The full account is on the weeping lilly pilly page.

Using weeping lilly pilly

The uses, sizes and growing notes are those of weeping lilly pilly and sit on its page and the Syzygium floribunda (Waterhousea floribunda) page, which hold the lines growers list under each name. The New South Wales flora and CSIRO's rainforest key describe glossy, wavy-edged leaves, many small white flowers in panicles at the branch ends and round fruit that turns pinkish or reddish. CSIRO's key gives the tree up to 30 m tall in the forest; the HortOS guides list it among street, shade and hedge trees, as its page sets out.
