Syzygium sp_ Goa for identification

[Neha Singh]

Dear friends,

Sharing a Syzygium sp from Southern Goa for identification.

I thought Syzygium caryophyllatum but it seems like a bigger tree and leaves appear different/ larger thanS. caryophyllatum.

Location- Forest area Canacona, South Goa

Habit-Wild Tree, height 7-8 m approximate

Photographed - April 2023

Flowering with lots of bees on it.

Please confirm which Syzygium sp it is.

Thanks

Maybe

Garg ji, It was S.cumini.

Any other options?

[Neha Singh]

Garg ji, , It was not S cumini .

Any other options?

( please ignore last mail)

[J.M. Garg]

Thanks, Neha ji,

Why do you say that it is not S cumini, quite a wide spread and a variable species?

Garg ji, the tree I observed looked different from S cumini. We observe S. cumini very often and we do identify it with leaves. But this tree had a different appearance.

That's why I was inclined to ask, "Could that be some other Syzgium?

[J.M. Garg]

Thanks, Neha ji.

If you check the flower buds of various species at 
https://efloraofindia.com/2011/04/01/syzygium-cumini/ 

You will see that it only matches well with S cumini.

[Neha Singh]

Garg Ji,

Could that Syzygium species be Syzygium salicifolium?

Flower matches with S.  salicifolium

[J.M. Garg]

I am unable to decide between the two (S. cumini & Syzygium salicifolium) as per descriptions:

https://indiabiodiversity.org/species/show/246655
http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=200014832

Maybe Santhosh ji is able to clarify.
