Mammea species are evergreen trees, bark smooth, outer bark yellowish gray, inner bark reddish, with usually with resinous latex or milky white or yellow, branches terete, glabrous. Leaves simple, opposite, or sometimes subverticellate, lanceolate-obovate to elliptic-oblong, margins entire, apex acute to obtuse, bright, glossy, leathery, coriaceous, lateral veins many, pinnately veined, glandular pellucid dotted in the middle of each areole, dense areolate venation, scales present near leaf bases, petiole stout, exstipulate. Inflorescence axillary or on in tubercles of bare branches of the trunk and branches, solitary or fascicled in cymes. Flowers unisexual or bisexual, dioecious or polygamous, actinomorphic, pedicellate, bracts small many, near the base of the flowers, calyx connate when young, spilt into 2 during anthesis, usually persistent in fruit, petals 4 rarely 7, white, deciduous. Stamens numerous, free, filaments slender, free filiform, whitish, anthers basifixed, erect, dehiscing longitudinally. Ovary superior, globose, bilocular, absent in male flowers, ovule 2-4, anatropus, style stout, short, stigma 2-4 lobed, peltate. Fruit indehiscent drupe, ovoid-globose, with firm exocarp, leathery and pulpy.
Mammea nervosa (Kurz) Kosterm.

📚 Natural History
Reproduction
Mammea species flowers are complete, bisexual, i.e., with functional male (androecium) and female (gynoecium), including stamens, carpels and ovary; dioecious (having male flowers in one plant and female in another), rarely polygamous (male & bisexual. Pollination is entomophilous i.e., by insects, or cleistogamy i.e., by self or allogamy i.e., by cross pollination. Flowering/Fruiting: March—July.

Morphology
Evergreen trees, up to 15 m tall, bole about 4-5 m long, up to 2 m in girth, glabrous, bark smooth, outer bark greenish gray, inner bark reddish, becoming brown when mature, with usually with resinous latex or milky white or yellow, indefinite, branches terete, glabrous. Leaves simple, opposite, or sometimes subverticellate, lanceolate-obovate to elliptic-oblong, about 12-25 x 4-5 cm across, base acute, margins entire, apex obtuse or rounded, glabrous, glossy, rigidly coriaceous, lateral veins many, anastomosing closely near the margins, pinnately veined, glandular pellucid dotted in the middle of each areole, dense areolate venation, scales present near leaf bases, petiole stout, slightly concave above, about 8-12 mm long, exstipulate. Inflorescence axillary or on in tubercles of bare branches of the trunk and branches, solitary or fascicled in cymes. Flowers unisexual or bisexual, dioecious or polygamous, actinomorphic, fragrant, about 1.25 cm across, buds globular, pedicel slender, glabrous, about 2.5-8 cm long, bracts many, triangular-ovate, near the base of the flowers, about 1.5-2 mm across, calyx connate when young, spilt into 2 during anthesis, about 5 mm long, usually persistent in fruit, petals 6 rarely 5-7, oblong-obovate, white, apex obtuse, deciduous. Stamens numerous, free, filaments slender, free filiform, about 2-3 mm long, anthers basifixed, ablong, 1.5 mm long, erect, dehiscing longitudinally. Ovary superior, globose, bilocular,about 1.3 mm long, absent in male flowers, ovule 2-4, anatropus, style stout, about 0.5 mm long, stigma 2 lobed, peltate.
