A plant species in the Sapotaceae family is called Manilkara maxima. It is indigenous to Brazil, where habitat loss is a problem. It is an evergreen tree that can reach heights of 10 to 30 metres and has a modest, light crown. Rarely is the tree taken from the wild for its edible fruit or for use in traditional medicine. The 25mm-diameter fruits range in colour from green to dark brown. Its pulp is mucilaginous and quite pleasant.
