A genus of African shrubs and trees that produce edible fruits, sometimes called the Kei apple or other regional names.
From New Latin, possibly derived from an African language name for the plant or from a corruption of a local word. Named scientifically in the 18th-19th century.
Dovyalis trees are native to Africa but were brought to Hawaii and other warm regions—they're a great example of how plants travel with human explorers and become part of new cuisines!
