| Neutral | Thaumaturgist | On Sep 10, 2003, Thaumaturgist from Rockledge, FL (Zone 10a) wrote: The Rose Apple (nothing in common with an Apple) from the family Myrtaceae, is not exempt from the Eugenia/Syzygium dual taxonomic controversy. And hence, it is also classified as Eugenia jambos. As if that was not enough, other botanists claim the Rose Apple to be:
Jambosa vulgaris
Jambosa jambos
Caryophyllus jambos
Although the Rose Apple is native to the East Indies and Malaysia, it now can be found all over the tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world.
In Brazil, it is called Jambo Amarelo or Jambeiro in Portuguese. In Florida where the rose-scented Rose Apple was introduced before the turn of the century, it grows almost wild from here in Brevard County (east-central Florida) all the way into south Florida.
