Myrciaria cuspidata, commonly known as camboim,[3] or cambuím[4] is a species of plant in the family Myrtaceae. It is found in coastal forests and semideciduous forests in Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina.[1] It grows slowly to a semideciduous shrub or small tree, between 3 and 6 metres tall, with orange or black berries around 10mm in diameter.[5]

Etymology

The name Cambuím comes from Tupi–Guarani and means "fruit that is born on the thin branch".[4]
