Byrsonima ligustrifolia

Byrsonima ligustrifolia, sometimes known as "Muchita", like many members of the Byrsonima genus, have small bright flowers and bear fruit that can vary in color, size, and taste. Many species within this genus have fruits that are appreciated both by wildlife and humans. The trees or shrubs play vital roles in their ecosystems and can be of interest for their potential uses in agroforestry or fruit production.

Recent scientific research has investigated the potential medicinal benefits of the plant.
