Is "the common turkey" vandalism, a typo, or an actual plant? Maybe an aborted editing attempt, given the lack of final period? If it is a plant, please provide a page for it and a link, or at least some more information along the lines of "the common garden perennial known as the turkey (Somethingia somethingus)." If it refers to the "turkey bush," Myoporum deserti, that belongs to a different family Myoporaceae and is thus hardly "closely related."

Also, the article does not mention that Acmena smithii is an Australian plant. Range information should be added, by somebody that knows it more precisely.Mglg 23:03, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] It's a Syzygium now?

Accrding to Harden, McDonald and Williams' Rainforest Trees and Shrubs ISBN 0-97755-530-5 this plant, and many other Acmenas have been reclassified as Syzygiums. Peter1968 22:51, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
