I think they are both correct species but perhaps grabbed off internet separately.

I think there are two species being called Eugenia myrcianthes/Hexachlamys edulis. The sweet one looks very different from the garlic one. The garlic one has multiple trunks, looks like a willow, rough bark. The sweet one is a much prettier, smaller tree, somewhat resembling an annona to me, with smooth trunk. The garlic one has longer leaf petioles, narrower leaves, and less pubescent leaves when the leaves are mature. Garlic fruits are smooth-skinned and lumpy, while sweet ones are round and pubescent.

Some people say the garlic one is Hexachlamys tomentosa/Eugenia anomola, but I'm not sure it really matches the description of those.
