Attaching few images of a tree of North Bengal forest for identification please.

Seems to be some species of Syzygium.

Earlier, I suggested two species to Bimal Da in a private mail. Now, I think those id suggestions were wrong.

Later, I came across a paper, titled "Typifications and nomenclatural notes on Indian Myrtaceae". No species description can be found in the said note. But it is a very important document to identify Syzygium. Because this note provides current accepted names of old names described in old classics. And the paper also elaborates on species distribution.

Petioles and leaf attachment cannot be seen in the attached photographs. Flowers seem to have (relatively) long pedicells.

Please check probability of -

Syzygium praecox - http://www.plantsoftheworldonline.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:913388-1

and

Thank you.

Thanks, Surajit ji, for suggesting Syzygium praecox

To me also appears close as per GBIf specimens from India and Bangladesh- one, two, three, four and five.
