{{Inc| Mimusops (Greek, ape-like, but application not obvious). Including Imbricaria. Sapotaceae. Tropical trees, with milky juice, some of them producing edible fruit, planted far South mostly for ornament. Leaves thick and shining, simple and entire, alternate, with inconspicuous transverse veins: fls. perfect, gamopetalous, the corolla of 6 or more lobes, but bearing twice as many appendages in the sinuses, the calyx of 6 or 8 sepals in 2 rows; stamens usually 6-8, inserted on the base of the corolla; staminodia present: fr. a globose or ovoid, 1-6-seeded berry, sometimes edible.— Probably 60 species in the tropics of both hemispheres. The species are confused and the names in the trade may not represent the species as now accepted by botanists. For a recent account of the W. Indian species, consult Pierre & Urban in Symbols Antilanae, V (1904). The mimusops are fine evergreen trees, good for ornament in frostless countries, and yielding perfumery, oil, rubber and other products. The fls. are small, white, and usually borne in axillary fascicles. Some of the species become more than 100 ft. high, and several of them yield hard and durable timber. A few species have been somewhat advertised in S. Calif, and S. Fla., but their cult. in this country is of small account. The sapodillo (which see) is a closely allied tree. }} ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/> *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
