The nursery labeled this as "Xylosoma_Bahamensis"... I found another picture online that showed this sort of tree identified as "Malpighia bahamensis".

Can anyone clear this up for me?

Thanks!

Probably just taxonomists playing their games and one of those IDs are using an old name. Same plant.

That certainly looks like a Xylosoma Bahamensis, I have one also :)
