I send you a cultivar of Syzygium malaccense (L.) Merr. & L.M.Perry

Syzugium jambos is completely different from S. malaccense.

S.jambos: small tree, stem irregular, bark reddish brown – grey
S. malaccense medium tree, stem monopodial, bark whitish pale brown

S. jambos: leaves oblong-lanceolate 15-28 x 2-5 cm
S. malaccense: leaves elliptic-oblong 16-45 x 9-20 cm

S. jambos: Inflorescence white
S. malaccense: Inflorescence pink

S. jambos: fruits globose 3-4 mm diam. green, yellowish.
S. malaccense: pear shaped, obovoid, globose, 3-8 cm diam. greenish, white, pink striped, red, dark red-blackish.

Besides the scientific differences enumerated by .., there is one big difference in the FRUITS of these three Syzygiums….
Syzygium Jambo… fruit is not pear shaped, is oblong, yellowish pinkish with a tinge of green, and brown as it ripens… and is hollow… with a round seed or two inside… the wall of the hollow fruit is 5 – 8 mm thick, fragrant, smells faintly of a rose… or even a honeysuckle flower…
AND
Syzygium samarangense and Syzygium malaccense while very different botanically… share the characteristics that the fruits are oblong yet pear shaped, and almost solid , 1- 1.5 cms on either side from the center, which may or may not have a seed…(seedless varieties are taking over in commercial cultivation, it seems) ….

Malay Rose Apple or Syzygium malaccensis in bloom at Veer Jijamata Bhosale Garden in Mumbai last week (9.1.14). This tree is ‘exotic’ in every literary meaning; coming from south east asia, bizzare in shape and colour and exceedingly beautiful. The fruits too are very attractive. The rareness makes this tree a neighbour’s envy.

Wonderful photograph and lovely color of flowers!

Beautiful flowers of this plant of Moluccan Island.

Wonderful picture, … Indeed, the flower and the fruit, both are beautiful.

Very beautiful picture …

I remember to have taken pictures of flowers from the same tree.

It looks like a pink carpet below the tree, my pictures which you can see on Flowersofindia.
