jaboticaba ? id

Hello,

That lovely tree has been fruiting many times but I am still not sure of what it is. Anyone could help me identifying accurately that myrtaceae, thanks. I have grown that tree from fruit seed bought at a local market in Paraguay ( near ciudad del este )years ago. The fruits can get big ( 3 times the size of a classic Jaboticaba ) although the fruit shown in the pictures is small. They taste good but differently from a classic Jabo.

Thanks Stevo for the id. I think you are right, it is a vexator.

Hi, it really looks like vexator BUT! at Paraguay? Ciudad del Este? I was there when I was 15 years old, it is a subtropical place... but the blue jaboticaba grows at Venezuela (tropical climate), 3500 kilometers to the north... so, the paraguayan M. vexator trees should belong to a paraguayan collectionist!
