Plinia sp. “riocontensis” (jaboticaba riocontensis) is a rare and little-documented jaboticaba-type species native to the Rio de Contas region of Bahia, Brazil. It grows as a small shrub reaching approximately 3 meters in height, typically forming a dense, multi-stemmed structure with the characteristic cauliflorous fruiting habit common in the Plinia genus.
The fruits are small, dark-colored, and sweet when ripe, making them suitable for fresh eating. Although still not formally described in detail, this regional jaboticaba is valued for its ornamental appearance, compact growth habit, and unique genetic background tied to the Rio de Contas area. Its rarity and localized distribution make it an interesting addition for collectors focused on Brazilian wild Plinia diversity.
Due to its limited availability and uncommon status, Plinia sp. “riocontensis” is considered a desirable species among rare fruit enthusiasts.
Seeds are shipped in packs of 1, shipped in humid vermiculite.
