Pl. find the attached file contain photos for id. confirmation.
Location: Alambarai Port
Date: 30.01.2013, Kangipuram Dist.,
Habitat: River Bank
Habit: Shrub Some species of Syzygium i guess This looks more like a species of Capparis to me. Could be a species of Eugenia (E.braziliensis ?). Eugenia bracteata, I think. I second … Myrcia bracteata (Rich.) DC. is the accepted name, Eugenia bracteata Rich. is a Synonym. (Ref: ThePlantList)
I am confused with the correct name as Flora of Eastern Ghats: Hill Ranges of South East India – Volume 3 – Page 38 mentions only Eugenia bracteata (Willd.) Roxb. ex DC. Prodr. 3: 264. 1828; FBI 2: 50. 1879 …, which matches with only Eugenia bracteata (Willd.) Raeusch. ex DC. [Illegitimate] in publication details of Prodr. 3: 264. 1828 (which is considered as a syn. of Eugenia roxburghii DC.) as per the following names in the Plant List:
In view, the accepted name may pl. be clarified.

Fwd: Your Eugenia reinwardtiana images. : 2 posts by 2 authors. Thanks, …, The following does not show any distribution in India for Eugenia reinwardtiana:
To me your images look similar to those at Eugenia roxburghii & with distribution in India and observations in Tamilnadu.
Yes these images looks similar to E.roxburghii only; the fruit is similar to E. roxburghii; this plant is quiet common in shores around Chennai The specimen of E roxburghii found in FOI do not match with my specimen. The young branch is ferruginous in my specimen and the fruits are reddish (not deep orange) Does Eugenia reinwardtiana has any distribution in Tamilnadu floras? You may check with images in efi site. Based on these 2 variable characters (these characters can be affected by environmental factors) we can not judge ; E.reinwarditiana is a cultivated in some areas; if the specimen is collected from wild it is E.roxburghii only

Found in Auroville Botanical garden this summer (1.5.19).
Edible fruits.
great color. are they sweet? are you going to try and sprout them? if successful, can we see the seedlings ? No, I can’t. It’s not working… They’re sweet, sour, bitter. They taste like S cumini even the leaves..
Oh! i wonder how do they sprout in nature. what birds or animals are known to eat it?sprouting may be helped by : may be abrasion? may be going thru the gut of birds or animals? or the micribiome of dung helps? just questions, i dont know answers. may be we have someone here who will know? …?

Found in a nursery. It tastes different from E roxburghii (E bracteata). Any other species than E roxburghii? Eugenia roxburghii Eugenia reinwardtiana? Can it be Eugenia phillyraeoides Trimen as per comparative images at Eugenia ?
Looks like Eugenia roxburghii
