The image shows its vibrant, bright orange fruits, which are oval-shaped and grow in small clusters on leafy branches. The fruits are visually appealing, with a shiny exterior and juicy pulp. Typically understory plants or small trees, species in the Dulacia genus are known for thriving in humid, tropical environments. The fruit of D. papilosa is sweet and edible, though it remains scarcely studied and cultivated, making it an exciting discovery for fruit collectors and those interested in Amazonian or Atlantic Forest biodiversy.
