Garcinia macrophylla, common name pungara, is a species of tree found in southern Mexico, Guatemala, and tropical South America.[2] It grows in the Amazonian and Atlantic lowland rain forests at elevations of 50–400 m, in climates with mean annual temperatures of 26–28 °C and mean annual rainfall of 1,500–4,000 mm. In Bolivia, this species is intercropped with cocoa for their edible fruits and shade.[3]
