$5.00

Garcinia sp. 'Assis-Acre' is a unique and likely undescribed species of Garcinia discovered by João Oliveira near the Acre River, close to Assis Brasil in the far western Amazon region of Brazil. This small tree grows between 3 to 5 meters tall and appears to be endemic to this specific part of Acre, making it of high botanical and conservation interest.

The fruit is particularly appealing, with a bright yellow skin and white pulp that is sweet with a pleasant, slightly acidic balance, as described by its discoverer. Each fruit typically contains 2 to 4 seeds, but still offers plenty of edible flesh, making it a promising candidate for local consumption and possibly even small-scale cultivation.
