There is a description of this shawi fruit in a thesis about the amazon in Ecuador, it says: "The specimens of Plinia sp. used in the experiment had ovoid berry fruits (1 seed per fruit) that were approximately 10 x 15 cm with thin yellow to orange skin and a flesh, white slightly aromatic mesocarp that is consumed raw. The species is cultivated on a small scale around Palora, Ecuador and is known locally as ‘shawi’. It is similar to a fruit called ‘mulchi’, cultivated in the Napo Province (Ecuador), about 80 km NW of Palora. Prior to this study, no herbarium specimens of this species were in the National Herbarium of Ecuador."
