Maybe.

But it is difficult to confirm.

To me this can also be Syzygium montanum Gamble:

Many thanks Garg ji.

Yes, I have gone through eFI page of S. calophyllifolium. The pointed apex and lesser round leaf may be another species like S. montanum.

Oh, we just exchanged the same thoughts at the same time.

Many thanks Garg ji, I too think S. montanum is a better candidate.

Also consider Syzygium densiflorum:
https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:77117807-1

[Dinesh Valke]

Key Differences

Feature	Syzygium montanum	Syzygium densiflorum
Branchlets	Quadrangular and narrowly winged	Round (terete) or nearly round
Leaf Apex	Blunt to rounded	Acuminate to caudate (tapering)
Fruit Shape	Spherical (globose)	Oblong to ovoid
Nerves	About 12 pairs of secondary nerves	Numerous, closely parallel nerves

For certain, Syzygium densiflorum.

Many many thanks Garg ji for going through the species, and arresting incorrect ID.

Regards.
