Pouteria Dongnaiensis

Pouteria dongnaiensis is a lesser-known but ecologically significant plant species native to the tropical regions of Southeast Asia. This evergreen tree is known for its unique fruit, which is both nutritious and flavorful, making it a valuable resource for local communities. Its habitat is primarily found in the dense forests of Vietnam and Cambodia, where it thrives in humid, warm climates. Despite its potential, Pouteria dongnaiensis remains under-researched and faces threats from deforestation and habitat loss. Understanding and conserving this species is crucial for preserving biodiversity and supporting sustainable agriculture in the region.
