To me the CSIRO classification of it as S malaccanse seams strange. It looks to be different enough to be classified it's own species.
Many plants when classified by the key system will fall into a species. In this case it must key out as malaccense.
Maybe DNA analysis might show unseen differences to either confirm or seperate ?
Syzygium aqueum also occurs in Cape York, but the fruit are not as big as the cultivated types from SE Asia.
