	'''''Syzygium malaccense''''', commonly known as '''Malacca Apple''', is a species of [[Flowering plant\|flowering]] [[tree]] that is native to [[Malaysia]] and [[Indonesia]] ([[Sumatra]] and [[Java]]).<ref name="GRIN"/> It has been [[Introduced species\|introduced]] throughout the [[tropics]], including many [[Caribbean]] countries such as [[Jamaica]], [[Suriname]], [[Dominican Republic]], and [[Trinidad and Tobago]]. It is also known as '''''jambu bol''''' ([[Indonesian language\|Indonesian]], meaning "ball [[guava]]"), '''Malay Rose Apple''', '''Otaheite Cashew''' and '''Pommerac''' (derived from ''pomme Malac'', meaning "Malaysian Apple" in [[French (language)\|French]]). Highly ambiguous terms, such as '''"rose apple"''', '''"water apple"''', '''"mountain apple"''', '''"pomarrosa"''' or '''"plum rose"''' are sometimes used for this plant or its fruit; they can refer to almost any species of ''[[Syzygium]]'' grown for its fruit.
