Beccariella Papyracea

''Beccariella'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Sapotaceae. This genus consists of at least 30 species of evergreen trees± found around the Pacific in the subtropics and tropics, mainly from Indonesia and Malaysia to northern Australia. They have simple leathery leaves, usually elliptical and glossy, they are basically deep green but often suffused with other colors. The stems and leaves contain latex, which may cause an irritant dermatitis in some people. The flowers are paired or in clusters and are very small; the ovoid fruits that follow are sometimes more conspicuous.

Cultivation

They are tolerant of frost and prefer warm humid conditions with moist soil rich in humus. Propagate from seed or cuttings.
