Annona coriacea (araticum in Portuguese) is a fruit tree native to Brazil . Its original habitat includes the ecoregions of Cerrado, Caatinga, and Pantanal. There, it is typically found in scrublands and savannahs, though it is sometimes grown in orchards.[2] Its wood is used in constructions and toys. This plant is cited in Flora Brasiliensis by Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius.

A. coriacea typically reaches 3-6 meters tall and has a globose crown.[2] It has simple leaves and terminal flowers that produce edible fruits, which are densely hairy when young.[3] The heavily fragrant flowers are primarily pollinated by beetles at night.[4]

This tree is susceptible to attack by the Mediterranean fruit fly.[5]
