Plinia yasuniana is a small Amazonian understory shrub from north-east Ecuador, known only from Yasuni National Park. It is a rainforest species that needs warm, humid, shaded conditions, so it is rarely grown outside its native range.
Plinia yasuniana is a species of plant in the family Myrtaceae. It is endemic to the understory of the Amazonian rainforest in Yasuni National Park in north-east Ecuador. The plant is a shrub that grows to between 1 and 3 metres (3 ft 3 in and 9 ft 10 in) tall. It produces cauliflorous, white flowers around 4 to 6mm long and edible, yellow fruits around 30mm in diameter, between August and November. It is named after the national park in which it was discovered in 2009.
