Syzygium abatakum is a species of plant in the family Myrtaceae native to Sumatra, where it is known as kalek jambu (in Minangkabau) or kilat jambu.[1][2]
The species is a tree that grows up to 10 m (33 ft) in height. The leaves are oppositely arranged, and white flowers are borne on a terminal panicle/corymb. The fruits have not been observed. It most closely resembles Syzygium pyrifolium and Syzygium angbahsin.[2]
Syzygium abatakum occurs in lowland forests at altitudes between 100 and 930 m (330 and 3,050 ft).[2]
