*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.

- Please do not submit questions asking to identify plants or about horticultural topics (e.g., how do I control an invasive plant in my garden?). Instead, those questions can be submitted here for the Carolinas region only.
- Please do not send us feedback about unkeyed species as this work is ongoing.
- Please allow time for flora edits to show in our next data release. We greatly appreciate your feedback but may require extra time to research complicated taxonomic issues.
