Attachments (2) – 2 Mb each Myrtaceae may be possible. But I have not come across this specimen.. Is it some syzygium species ? Pl. help. Any possibility of Syzygium caryophyllatum (L.) Alston since it has got distribution in Myanmar ?
Syzygium balsameum, a rare species Yes we are also of the same opinion. Tried to collect again, but the location was untraceable. It looks like Syzygium polyanthum … may be correct. Thank you. What do the leaves smell like? .   Could you help identifying this plant.
Tree upto 20 m, Fruits edible, yellow when ripe.
Place:240 m, foothills of Chure, Chitwan
Date: November 2, 2018.
Any idea about the family? https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a—l/a/anacardiaceae? It should be Syzygium cumini (L.) Skeels. It may be some species of Syzygium, i do not think it matches with cuminii.
Yes. I agree with …
No other matching according to the efn. According to the Nepali name it seems so but cannot confirm.
Syzygium nervosum A.Cunn. ex DC. ??
Cleistocalyx operculatus (Roxb.) Merr. & L.M.Perry
I do not think so. Pl. see
It might be Syzygium kurzii.
I think it is Syzygium balsameum as per images and details herein.
