Lucuma

not marked as a favorite taxon *Lucuma Molina.

A genus of 17 species, trees, widespread in the Neotropics. This genus has often been subsumed into Pouteria, but Swenson et al. (2023) re-recognize it, as necessary in creating a generic treatment of Chrysophylloideae of monophyletic and diagnosable genera.
