Prunus lundelliana Standl.[1]

Prunus lundelliana, Spanish: taquicui, and nail wamal in the Tzeltal language, is a species of Prunus native to southern Mexico and to northern Central America. It is a tree reaching 10 m. It is a common understory species in montane cloud forests, preferring to grow on the sides of streams.[2] It resembles Prunus tetradenia, but with significantly smaller leaves, and in the position of certain of the leaf glands.[1] The wood is dense and darkly colored. The white 4 to 6 mm flowers are borne on axillary racemes. The fruit, a drupe, is black, 8 to 10 mm, with very little flesh.[2][3]
