01Narrative
Bunchosia argentea, known as silver peanut butter fruit,Lorenzi H, Lacerda MTC & Bacher LB. (2015) Frutas No Brasil: Nativas e Exoticas (page 306). INSTITUTO PLANTARUM. is a species of flowering plant in the acerola family, Malpighiaceae, that is native to Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Brazil, Guyana and Suriname. It produces small orange-red fruits that are sericeous (finely haired) of pleasant taste similar to peanut butter. Leaves have pointed ends and are densely silvery or golden sericeous on the abaxial side. The species has been cultivated by a small, independent plant nurseryhttps://www.frankies-nursery.com/, https://www.frankies-nursery.com/img/portfolio/ContainerPlants/Bunchosia.html on the Hawai'ian island of O'ahu and is also available in the Rio Grande Valley of far southern Texas.http://treesandtours.com/portfolio_page/peanut-butter-fruit-tree/ Trees and Tours Peanut Butter Fruit Tree
