Eugenia Candolleana

Eugenia candolleana, or rainforest plum, is a tree native from Atlantic rainforest of Brazil, known locally by the Portuguese names cambuí roxo ("purple cambuí") or murtinha ("little myrtle"). It is quite rare in the wild, and has seen limited use in landscaping for its bright green foliage and purple-black fruits. The species is named after the 19th century Swiss botanist Augustin Pyramus de Candolle. The common name cambuí means "thin-branched tree" in Tupi-Guarani language, and is applied to over 100 different species.
