Lucuma multiflora
Lucuma multiflora is a plant in the family Sapotaceae of the order Ericales. Its English common name is bullytree. Its Spanish common names include jácana, ácana, acana, hacana, or jacana. It is native to North and South America. The plant is common in the Toro Negro State Forest.
It grows to 40–90 feet (12–27 m) in hight and 2–3 feet (0.61–0.91 m) in diameter. It yields very good timber that can be used for mill rollers, frames, furniture, and house building. Acana wood is light-colored, fine- and straight-grained, hard, very heavy, strong, and durable, and can be polished to a shine. The pores are small and arranged in radial rows, and the pith rays narrow and indistinct.
