Sapotoideae
The Sapotoideae are a subfamily of the flowering plant family Sapotaceae. Plants in the subfamily are characterized by their leather-like leaves, often growing in a stipule fashion. The seeds of the tree ''Argania spinosa'' produce an edible oil, traditionally harvested in Morocco.

Palaquium
''Palaquium'' is a genus of about 120 species of trees in the family Sapotaceae. Their range is from India across Southeast Asia, Malesia, Papuasia, and Australasia, to the western Pacific Islands. Description Within their range, ''Palaquium'' species are mostly found in the Philippines and Borneo. In Borneo, many species are recorded in the Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak. The leaves are typically spirally arranged and often clustered near twig ends. Flowers are mostly bisexual, though some unisexual instances are known. Fruits are one- or two-seeded with rare instances of several seeds. ''Palaquium'' habitats are coastal, lowland mixed dipterocarp, swamp, and montane forests. Some species, for example ''Palaquium gutta'', are well known for producing gutta-percha Gutta-percha is a tree of the genus ''Palaquium'' in the family Sapotaceae. The name also refers to the rigid, naturally biologically inert, resilient, electrically nonconductive, thermoplastic latex deri ...

Baillonella
''Baillonella toxisperma'' (also called African pearwood, djave nut, or moabi) is a species of tree in the family Sapotaceae, and the only species in the genus ''Baillonella''. It is found in Angola, Cameroon, the Republic of the Congo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Gabon and Nigeria. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. It is threatened by habitat loss. The moabi tree's nut oil is a key component of Baka and other indigenous people's subsistence. Conservation ''Baillonella toxisperma'' is declining over large parts of its range due to overexploitation, as it is both a highly desired hardwood for international export, and can provide a locally prized edible oil. Although minimum diameter logging restrictions are in place, the species appears to be in decline and has been classified as vulnerable by the IUCN.

The genus is named for Bertrand-François Mahé de La Bourdonnais (1699 – 1753), French governor of Mauritius 1735–1740. The ''Labourdonnaisia'' tree species can also sometimes be confused with the Mascarene trees of the genus ''Sideroxylon''. However the ''Labourdonnaisia'' species have parallel venation on their leaves, while the ''Sideroxylon'' species have densely netted leaf-venation and strong midribs under their leaves. ;species # ''Labourdonnaisia calophylloides'' Bojer - Mauritius, Réunion # ''Labourdonnaisia glauca'' Bojer - Mauritius # ''Labourdonnaisia lecomtei'' Aubrév. - Madagascar # ''Labourdonnaisia madagascariensis'' Pierre ex Baill. - Madagascar # ''Labourdonnaisia revoluta'' Bojer - Mauritius # ''Labourdonnaisia richardiana'' Pierr ...

Argania
''Argania'' (Tashelhit: ⴰⵔⴳⴰⵏ ''Argan'') is a genus of flowering plants containing the sole species ''Argania spinosa'', known as argan, a tree endemic to the calcareous semidesert Sous valley of southwestern Morocco and to the region of Tindouf in southwestern Algeria. Argan trees grow to high and live up to approximately 200 years. They are thorny, with gnarled trunks and wide spreading crown. The crown has a circumference of about and the branches lean towards the ground. The leaves are small, long, and oval with a rounded apex. The flowers are small, with five pale yellow-green petals; flowering in April. The fruit is long and broad, with a thick, bitter peel surrounding a sweet-smelling but unpleasantly flavored layer of pulpy pericarp. This surrounds the very hard nut, which contains one (occasionally two or three) small, oil-rich seeds. The fruit takes over a year to mature, ripening in June to July of the following year.

240px, '' Madhuca longifolia'' var. ''latifolia'' in Narsapur, Medak district, India The Sapotaceae are a family (biology), family of flowering plants belonging to the order (biology), order Ericales. The family includes about 800 species of evergreen trees and shrubs in around 65 genera (35-75, depending on generic definition). Their distribution is pantropical. Many species produce edible fruits, or white blood-sap that is used to cleanse dirt, organically and manually, while others have other economic uses. Species noted for their edible fruits include ''Manilkara'' (sapodilla), ''Chrysophyllum cainito'' (star-apple or golden leaf tree), and ''Pouteria'' ('' abiu, canistel, lúcuma'', mamey sapote). ''Vitellaria paradoxa'' (''shi'' in several languages of West Africa and ''karité'' in French; also anglicized as shea) is also the source of an oil-rich nut, the source of edible shea butter, which is the major lipid source for many African ethnic groups and is also used in t ...
