Thanks Usha di. Heartwood of Xylia xylocarpa has colour resembling to that of the rose pink colour of the jambu fruit (rose apple) ... thus given the the name. Jambu, Jamba, Jamb ... all these spellings in English may not give hint to how it is pronounced in regional languages of India. जांबा / जंभा / जांभा / जांब / जांबु / जंबू / जम्बु / जम्बू are various spellings in Devanagari in different languages.
*Rose apple (Syzygium spp.) is given the name jambu (जम्बु or जम्बू in Sanskrit)* ... most of Indian languages have derived the same name for the fruit OR tree - though the accent / pronunciation is different.
