Hello everyone,

Syzygium cumini in the Mumbai area displays a bewildering variation in size 
and shape of leaf, the size, shape and taste of fruit, the size of flowers 
and the time of flowering as well as the size of the tree and the bark. 
I would have liked to see better pictures of the leaves in the last 2 
pictures because one possibility is Syzygium heyneanum especially if it is 
growing near a water body ( Alka, is that water in your 4th picture?) S. 
heyneanum has narrower and more rigid leaves and small, often rounded fruit 
like those in your last picture.
However I wouldn't be surprised if all these images belong to S. cumini.

regards
Radha
