On checking distribution of *S. nervosum*, it is not found in the area as per the following: http://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:601984-1 http://wcsp.science.kew.org/namedetail.do?name_id=199981 http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=110&taxon_id=200014761 https://indiabiodiversity.org/species/show/231279
Also images look different at http://tropical.theferns.info/image.php?id=Syzygium+nervosum#plantimages/6/0/609711ce5a7f54a953f3e82e1ceaf65746e82ccc.jpg On perusal of numerous posts/ images in efi at *Syzygium cumini* (L.) Skeels <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/m---z/m/myrtaceae/syzygium/syzygium-cumini> & views of members and experts, this species shows lot of variation both in fruit & leaf shape & size. Considering all this I feel we may take both the posted plants as *Syzygium cumini* (L.)
