red guava



From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48:


Guava \Gua"va\, n. [Sp. guayaba the guava fruit, guayabo the
   guava tree; prob. fr. the native West Indian name.]
   A tropical tree, or its fruit, of the genus Psidium. Two
   varieties are well known, the P. pyriferum, or {white
   guava}, and P. pomiferum, or red guava. The fruit or
   berry is shaped like a pomegranate, but is much smaller. It
   is somewhat astringent, but makes a delicious jelly.
