Dear All: Besides the scientific differences enumerated by Pudji ji, there is one big difference in the FRUITS of these three Syzygiums....
Syzygium Jambo... fruit is not pear shaped, is oblong, yellowish pinkish with a tinge of green, and brown as it ripens... and is hollow... with a round seed or two inside... the wall of the hollow fruit is 5 - 8 mm thick, fragrant, smells faintly of a rose... or even a honeysuckle flower... AND Syzygium samarangense and Syzygium malaccense while very different botanically... share the characteristics that the fruits are oblong yet pear shaped, and almost solid , 1- 1.5 cms on either side from the center, which may or may not have a seed...(seedless varieties are taking over in commercial cultivation, it seems) ....
