蓮霧(學名:Syzygium samarangense),新加坡及馬來西亞一帶稱爲水蓊(Jambu Air),又名天桃,別名輦霧、璉霧、爪哇蒲桃、洋蒲桃,因其果實長得像鈴鐺,亦稱為bell-fruit。原產於馬來半島,在馬來西亞、印尼和菲律賓等地普遍栽培,後來以爪哇島栽培較多。十七世紀時,由荷蘭人引進台灣後,初期僅在台灣各地農家及果園作零星的栽培。

Syzygium samarangense is a plant species in the family Myrtaceae, native to an area that includes the Greater Sunda Islands, Malay Peninsula and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, but introduced in prehistoric times to a wider area and now widely cultivated in the tropics. In Indonesia it is known as Jambu Air.Common names in English include Java apple, Semarang rose-apple and wax jambu.

Syzygium samarangense is a tropical tree growing to 12 m tall, with evergreen leaves 10–25 cm long and 5–10 cm broad. The flowers are white, 2.5 cm diameter, with four petals and numerous stamens. The fruit is a bell-shaped, edible berry, with colors ranging from white, pale green, or green to red, purple, or crimson, to deep purple or even black, 4–6 cm long in wild plants. The flowers and resulting fruit are not limited to the axils of the leaves, and can appear on nearly any point on the surface of the trunk and branches. When mature, the tree is considered a heavy bearer, yielding a crop of up to 700 fruits.
