Default Tree with 1" diameter yellow orange fruit

Hi.
Every now and then I see a small tree with 1" diameter yellow orange fruit. The leaves
are dark green, about 6" long, shiny on top and dusty looking underneath, and with
parallel veins radiating form a central vein. It looks almost like a guava except the
fruit has 4 large brown seeds about 3/8" diameter. The flowers are already gone. Similar
to this: http://www.tradewindsfruit.com/brazilian_guava.htm

Any one have any ideas what it could be?
Thanks.
