GUAVA

Guava is the popular name of the genus Psidium, which are tropical trees of the family Myrtaceae.
Psidium Guaiava (the guava tree) is a small tree, with square branches, egg-shaped leaves, and large white axillary flowers, which are succeeded by fleshy berries, which are either apple or pear shaped in the two principal varieties. The pulp is of an agreeable flavour, and of this fruit is made a delicious and well-known jelly. There is also a product called guava cheese. The fruit of the guava is high in vitamin C.
