The rib median is slightly prominent on the dessus, heavily prominent en below. There are 7-10 pairs of ribs secondary, prominent , arched , margin the ribs tertiary are densely reticulated.
The inflorescence is a clusters (raceme) or a pseudo-clusters terminal, pedunculated, hairy-reddish, a from 4 to 12,5 cm, and carries many flowers the bracts et bracteoles (1-3 on peduncles long 0-4 mm) are forms linear-lanceolate, triangular ou oval, acute, lapsed when fruiting, long 1-3 mm, hairy withvideo shooting, almost glabrous withshooting the pedicels hairy are curved when fruiting, long 7-12 mm.

The 5 sepals are from forms oval, long from 3 to 5 mm, hairless ou rarely slightly tomentose on do what higher (adaxial), trained ou slightly curved au sommet, wearing glands hairless, slightly oblong, and long from 2 to 3 mm. The 5 petals are from color yellow (becoming reddish), hairless, concave, forms orbicularis-reniformin margin almost full, measuring from 5 to 9 mm diameter, and carried by a handles a from 3 to 5 mm. The fifth petal is flattenedin slices irregular, and long 3 to 4 mm, devoid of glands.

The connective equals the lodges or exceeds them by up to 0,2 (–0,4) mm. Theovary is subglobose (almost globular), glabrous à densely tomentose the styles are curved au sommet (for the juveniles), hairless, too long them stamens.
Le fruits is a drupes globular, edible de flavor sour, green becoming yellow à maturity, 8–10 mm diameter (dried), glabrous ou slightly tomenteuse.exocarp little thick et fleshy surrounded un core (endocarp) round, woody warty ou corded, Split in 3 lodges.
Taxonomy : The moureiller is extremely variable in its aire de division, and is notably subject to hybridization with Byrsonima verbascifolia (these hybrid have some internodes elongated leaves short with petioles immense winged and small bracts).
According to GBIF (February 27, 2022), we recognize 2 forms in thespecies Byrsonima crassifolia :
– Byrsonima crassifolia f. crassifolia
– Byrsonima crassifolia f. ferruginea Nied., 1901
Répartition : The moureiller has been present since the Mexico tropical until north of'South America (Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, Guyana, Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay), passing through the West Indies.
Ecology : Moureril is a small arbre heliophile, resistant to fire, who shoot about savannas
groves de savannas, forests secondary and on inselbergs (common about savannas au Venezuela, around 50–1 meters).
Il flowers et bear fruit almost all of itannée about savannas tall en Guyana.

fruits to mouiller present a great variations de quality (acidity du jus, solid soluble totals, color of the skin, size ).
Also some settings have been defined for facilitate la exclusive varietal.
Use : The moureiller is occasionally cultivated (semi-domesticated) for its fruits groceriesWithin orchards du North part du Brazil, especially in the Para.
fruits of the moureiller are sweet, astringents, rather acids et perfumed and are groceries, appreciated en central America and Brazil. They are traditionally consumed raw, sous forms de Juice refreshing the fruits are sold me on markets traditional du North part du Brazil, conditioned in bottles en PET, withwater (with or without sucre), and this retain so up to 40 days the fruits can also be processed de various manners : for some Creations savory (soupes ou garnish de meat), and for desserts, particularly the sorbets (thanks to his good Teneur en lipids). They are also traditionally macerated in the cachaça and to make liqueurs, or some drinks fermented (example : chicha du Panama).
La pulp represents 75% of the weight du fruit (64% of chair and 11% of skin edible also).
We find 10% ofoil in his seed and 20% in the pulp.
