There are some good pointers on "*Malpighia glabra* vs *M. emarginata"* in the online Herbarium of the University of Michigan <http://herbarium.lsa.umich.edu/malpigh/Intro/Keys1.html>. Please refer to the remarks in the "Uses" and the key to these two species at the bottom of this page <http://herbarium.lsa.umich.edu/malpigh/MalpClade/Malpighia/Malp1.html#Uses> .
Have also attached some relevant notes on *M. **emarginata* extracted from the paper "Genetic Resources of Tropical and Sub-Tropical Fruits and Nuts <http://pdf.usaid.gov/pdf_docs/PNAAW619.pdf>" published by the IBPGR Secretariat in July 1986. The obtuse-emarginate-apiculate leaves (as seen in the photographed plant) and the tangy fruit taste akin to Star Fruit (as described by Nadeem ji) are indicative of *M. emarginata*. The fruit of *M. glabra* is said to be "insipid" overall. Best wishes, Viplav El 9 de noviembre de 2014, 18:18, J.M.
