    Pouteria sapota (Ref.171, Ref.765) - Land plant: red mamey sapote, species of tree native to Cuba and Central America. Fruit is commonly eaten in many Latin American countries. It is is about 10 to 25 cm (4 to 10 in) long and 8 to 12 cm (3 to 4.5 in) wide and has flesh ranging in color from pink to orange to red. The fruit's texture is creamy and soft, the flavor is a mix of sweet potato, pumpkin, honey, prune, peach, apricot, cantaloupe, cherry, and almond. (Streptophyta - Chrysophylloideae)
