Myrciaria strigipes, commonly known as cambucá da praia (beach cambucá) or cabeludinha da praia (beach, little hairy),[3] is a species of plant in the family Myrtaceae. It is an evergreen shrub or small tree, endemic to Bahia and Espírito Santo in the east of Brazil.[4] The plant grows up to between 4 and 9 metres tall, and produces edible yellowish fruits between 22 and 28mm in diameter.[5] Consumed raw, the fruit has been described as tasting somewhere between Myrciaria glazioviana and Plinia cauliflora.[3]
