Malay Apple (Syzygium malaccense; syn. Eugenia malaccensis), also known as Mountain Apple, Pomarosa, Jambu Bol (Inonesian, meaning ball guava), Plum Rose, and Pommerac (derived from 'Pomme du lac' meaning 'Milk Apple' when translated from Trinidadian French Patois) is native to Malaysia but has been introduced throughout the tropics, including many Caribbean countries such as Jamaica, Puerto Rico, and Trinidad and Tobago. The fruit is oblong-shaped and dark red in color, although some varieties have white or pink skin. The flesh is white and surrounds a large seed. The flesh makes a jam prepared by stewing with brown sugar and ginger. The name Otaheite Apple is used too (in Jamaica), but should better be used for the Tahitian apple[verification needed]. The common name in Hawaii is Mountain Apple; its Hawaiian name is ʻOhiʻa ʻai.
