Siphoneugena densiflora
Siphoneugena densiflora, known as hoja menuda, is a Brazilian shrub or small tree in the myrtle family that bears small edible purplish-black fruit. It is rarely grown in gardens, so care advice is mostly general knowledge for myrtaceous plants in warm climates.
Siphoneugena densiflora is a species of plant in the family Myrtaceae. It is endemic to Brazil. Typically found as a shrub up to 3 metres (9.8 ft) tall, and more rarely as a tree up to between 12 and 13 metres (39 and 43 ft) tall, this plant produces edible purplish-black fruit that are less than 10 mm (0.39 in) in diameter.
