..A gift of Mansoon. : 1 image.

... A gift of Mansoon....the fruits of Syzigium zeylanicum  ..
Found in the open patches of Evergreen Forests of Kumta, Karnataka. 

So tempting. can i pluck and eat them ? any way hungry after the days work 

---

..Me too was much tempted too see them.. and was hungry too...
But most interestingly., I could not see any visitor to have the dish.. I mean, neither the birds, nor the bats seem to be eating it.. So myself and my team decided not to eat it...
But to error is human.. and I had a taste of 3-4 fruits... !
... And nothing happened... But they proved themselves as The 'Best' Laxatives..:)
But I still wonder .. why the fruits wetre consumed by the Birds....

Thank you very much ... for the pictures of type specimen. Yes they are S. zeylanicum. I feel a slight variation of leaf size here. I would like to know the altitude at which the plant that you have seen. Here we see the same species with leaves little bit larger.
