Myrciaria cauliflora
"Jabuticaba"
LHBC 176
Family: Myrtaceae
Native to: Brazil
A favorite fruit in Brazil. The species name, cauliflora, refers to the way in which flowers emerge directly from thick branches (cauliflory) which is common in some tropical forest trees. This results in large stems and trunks being densely covered with the shiny, almost black fruits.
