In his book TREES OF DELHI the author Pradip Krishen writes this about Rai Jamun i.e., Syzigium Nervosum: "It may come as a surprise that most of the lovely trees on both sides of Rajpath are not jamuns but a closely allied relative known as 'rai jamun.'" Would be interesting to know if the species in JNU is Syzigium nervosum or Syzigium alternans Dev
