1.2- Genus Manilkara Adans. - Sapodilla genus
+ Overview
Manilkara is a genus of trees in the family Sapotaceae. They are widespread in tropical and semitropical locations, in Africa, Madagascar, Asia, Australia, and Latin America, as well as various islands in the Pacific and in the Caribbean. A close relative is the genus Pouteria.
Trees of this genus yield edible fruit, useful wood, and latex. The best-known species are Manilkara bidentata (balatá), Manilkara chicle (chicle) and Manilkara zapota (sapodilla). Manilkara hexandra is the floral emblem of Prachuap Khiri Khan Province in Thailand, where it is known as rayan. Manilkara obovata shares the vernacular name of African pear with another completely different species, Dacryodes edulis, and neither should be confused with Baillonella toxisperma, known by the very similar name, African pearwood.
The generic name, Manilkara, is derived from manil-kara, a vernacular name for Manilkara kauki in Malayalam.
Manilkara trees are often significant, or even dominant species in their native ecosystems, such as East Deccan dry evergreen forests, Central American premontane tropical wet forests, or together with Cynometra, in the Arabuko Sokoke National Park.
Manilkara fruit are an important food item for various frugivores, in particular birds. The red fruit bat (Stenoderma rufum) is the primary - and possibly the only - seed disperser of Manilkara bidentata in parts of the Caribbean. Tuckerella xiamenensis, a species of peacock mite, was described from a sapodilla tree.
Several species are endangered due to overexploitation and habitat destruction. Manilkara gonavensis of Haiti and Manilkara spectabilis of Costa Rica are almost extinct.
