AboutLeírás

Garcinia humilis, known commonly as abricot, is a species of flowering plant related to the mangosteen. It is a tree native to the Caribbean – Haiti, Jamaica, the Leeward and Windward Islands, and Trinidad and Tobago – and Guyana. It grows in moist lowland and submontane forests, often in seasonally-flooded river deltas and ravines. In Jamaica it also grows in moist forest on karst limestone hillsides. A small, prolifically fruiting Bolivian tree known as achachairú or achacha is grown as a commercial crop in northern Australia. It is commonly identified as Garcinia humilis, but is more likely Garcinia gardneriana. The species was first described as Mammea humilis by Martin Vahl in 1798. In 1970 Charles Dennis Adams placed the species in genus Garcinia as G. humilis.
