This is some Syzygium sp. (Myrtaceae Family). Its a huge tree may be around 20 m high.
Date/Time: 22-12-2010 / 09:45AM
Location: Near Lime Stone Cave site, Baratang, Andaman
Habitat: Wild
Plant habit: Tree (Approx. 20 m tall)
... has identified this as Syzygium samarangense (Blume) Merr. & L.M.Perry
I think it is Syzygium praecox (Roxb.) Rathakr. & N.C.Nair
Almost like S. samarangense but it is much taller and the bark is whitish grey. 
Not Syzygium jambos, because S jambos is a small tree no more than 5 m tall, no more than 15 cm diameter. The bark is not whitish.
... has rightly idenitified this tree as Syzygium samarangense which is a very common tree in the coastal forests of the Andaman Islands.
To me looks different from images at Syzygium samarangense (Blume) Merr. & L.M.Perry
I find these closer to ... images at Syzygium polyanthum (Wight) Walp., which also have distribution in Andamans. 
Of course the flowers of Syzygium samarangense will be white. Thank you ... for pointing out.
