PLANCHONELLA OBOVATA

I have never observed the flowers of this Sea Gutta tree from the Sapotaceae Family. In recent years, it is planted more frequently along roadsides for its attractive bronzy leaf undersides.

However, we are more used to its other synonym Pouteria obovata. In fact, its other synonyms include Sersalisia obovata and Sideroxylon ferrugineum etc.
