Syzygium travancoricum Gamble, Bull. Misc. Inform. Kew 1918: 240 1918.;
Sterile specimens are difficult to identify. Do you have the flower? Free or coherent petalled? The 1st possibility is Syzygium assimile Thwaites, Enum. Pl. Zeyl.: 116 (1859). If its from south or central Western Ghats then it could be Syzigium tamilnadense There are two possibilities: Syzygium travancoricum or Syzygium stocksii. If it is smelled like tender mango, it must be S. travancoricum. S. stocksii doesn't have such characteristic smell LEAVES HAVE SMELL LIKE TENDER MANGO Then it should be Syzygium travancoricum Gamble We, at present, work on the pollination ecology, seed dispersal and recruitment of 5 species of Syzygiums this species is one among them. There is hardly any difference between S. travencoricum and S. stocksii in its floral characters. This species has been reported from Kerala and Karnataka that too from few remote places. Red listed plant according to IUCN. The specimens are of Syzygium travancoricum Gamble (MYRTACEAE), an endemic species of southern Western Ghats. Garcinia ? SN Sep 59 : 6 posts by 5 authors.
