I think it is not Syzygium caryophyllatum, considering the long petiole and the shape of the leaf (I imagined the rest of the leaf with the available leaf in the given picture). Please have refer the link http://www.biotik.org/india/species/s/syzycary/syzycary_en.html to have a detailed look @ Syzygium caryophyllatum Regards, Giby On 19 March 2012 18:42, Neil Soares <drneilsoa...@yahoo.com> wrote: Hi, This is Syzygium caryophyllifolia [S.gibsonii].
