Dear All,

Eugenia is a very difficult genus for taxonomic determination. Using photographs with low resolution is so difficult too. Better he has to send a specimen to some experts for identification

A reply:
"I think it is not Eugenia. It may be Ilex species of the family Aquifoliaceae. (I. wightiana var. peninsularis or some other species like I. denticulata or I. gardneriana I require some good photos.

Dear All,

The leaves and fruit positions are like Eugenia, but the fruit apex does not show the remaining sepals or sepal scars, so it may not be Eugenia.  Flower images and other details are needed, and wait for the experts.  Thank you.

Hi, Muthu ji,
May I request you to pl. post high resolution images to check the details.
After checking species in FoPI, I think Ilex wightiana is possible as per specimens at FoPI
