'''''Brosimum''''' is a [[genus]] of plants in the [[family (biology)|family]] [[Moraceae]], native to [[tropical]] regions of the [[Americas]]. The [[Breadnut]] (''B. alicastrum'') was used by the [[Maya civilization]] for its edible nut. The dense vividly colored scarlet wood of [[Satine Bloodwood]] (''[[Brosimum paraense|B. paraense]]'') is used for decorative woodworking<ref>Baker (2004)</ref>. Plants of this genus are otherwise used for [[timber]], building materials, and in a cultural context. {{Inc| Brosimum (Greek, edible). Moraceae. A genus of 8 species of large trees of Trop. Amer., yielding edible fr. : fls. monoecious, or rarely dioecious, inside or on the outside of a fig-like receptacle. B. Alicastrum, Swartz, is the bread-nut of Jamaica, but it is not grown within the U. S., except in most of the botanic gardens. It bears round yellow fr., about an inch in diam., containing a single large seed, which is edible after roasting. The tree has shining lance-elliptic entire Lvs. Prop, by cuttings of young wood in a bell-jar with bottom heat. }} ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Species== Selected species: * ''[[Brosimum acutifolium]]'' * ''[[Brosimum alicastrum]]'' – [[Breadnut]], Maya Nut, ''ramón'' ([[Spanish (language)|Spanish]]) * ''[[Brosimum costaricanum]]'' * ''[[Brosimum discolor]]'' * ''[[Brosimum gaudichaudii]]'' Trecul – [[Mama-cadela]] * ''[[Brosimum glaucum]]'' Taub. * ''[[Brosimum glaziovii]]'' Taub. * ''[[Brosimum guianense]]'' (Aubl.)
