Annona sp. "Bruto Maranhao"

Annona sp. 'Bruto Maranhão', also known as 'Bruto do Maranhão', is a potentially distinct and undescribed species within the Annona genus, found in limited locations in Maranhão, Brazil, such as Lago Verde. While sharing similarities with Annona coriacea, this rare species stands out with its smooth, rounded fruits, non-coriaceous leaves, and a unique aromatic scent when crushed. The light orange pulp offers a remarkable flavor, blending araticum and soursop-like notes, making it highly desirable for fresh consumption, juices, and desserts. Its small-sized tree form, prolific fruit production, and aesthetic appeal add to its horticultural value. Given its rarity and potential classification as a new species, Annona sp. 'Bruto Maranhão' holds significant interest for conservationists and horticulturists, ensuring the preservation of this exceptional Amazonian fruit.
