The paper records for the first time the occurrence of Psidium guineense Sw. in India from Tripura. It further records, probably for the first time, the transition from stamens to petals in the family Myrtaceae. This plant is exotic in and about Agartala, Tripura. It does not seem to be spreading. How and when the Immigrant entered Tripura could not be traced. The paper contains a detailed description of the species and the distinguishing characters by which it differs from Psidium guajava Linn.
