Was at Julatten a whiles back when I sighted this little tree which at first glance reminded me of some species of the nutmeg family. The leaves are alternately arranged and it had very brown hairy stems, particularly on the newer shoots. Fortunately it was in flower, which allowed me key this species out with greater ease.
Having a fruit helped as well. The little fruit was reminiscent of the edible sapodilla.
The plant had a mouthful of a name. I suppose it should be pronounced as ‘Ni-e-me-ye-ra’.
