The original version of the article mentioned two Latin names: Syzygium javanicum and Eugenia javanica. According to the Germplasm Resources Information Network, these are two different species: S. javanicum and S. samarangense/E. javanica. As the former page mentions "tasteless fruits", and the latter page mentions the alternative names, I've assumed this article is about S. samarangense.

[edit] The color of its juice is purple?!?!

My folks have a wax apple tree, we always eat wax apples where the colour of the juice is transparent... actually the juice is colourless.

[edit] AKA macopa, tambis (?)

I have eaten macopas, and we had a tambis tree in our backyard. These 2 are not the same fruit. Maybe from the same family but definitely not the same fruit. All photos here (at this time) show tambis. Kuanggol (talk) 15:41, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
