Location: Near Lime Stone Cave site, Baratang, Andaman
Habitat: Wild
Plant habit: Tree (Approx. 20 m tall)

… has identified this as Syzygium samarangense (Blume) Merr. & L.M.Perry

I think it is Syzygium praecox (Roxb.) Rathakr. & N.C.Nair
Almost like S. samarangense but it is much taller and the bark is whitish grey.

Not Syzygium jambos, because S jambos is a small tree no more than 5 m tall, no more than 15 cm diameter. The bark is not whitish.

… has rightly idenitified this tree as Syzygium samarangense which is a very common tree in the coastal forests of the Andaman Islands.

I find these closer to … images at Syzygium polyanthum (Wight) Walp., which also have distribution in Andamans.

Of course the flowers of Syzygium samarangense will be white. Thank you … for pointing out.
