Flacourtia inermis

            At Finca la Isla Botanical Garden near Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica.

Flacourtia inermis, known commonly as lovi-lovi, or batoko plum, is a species of flowering plant in the family Salicaceae/Flacourtiaceae.

It is native to the Philippines, but it has naturalized in tropical Asia and Africa. This tree is very common in the South India, especially in Kerala, where it is commonly known as loika or lavalolikka.

This is a medium-sized spineless tree that may grow up to 15 meters. The mature leaves are oblong and elliptic in shape and glossy on the upper side, with a toothed margin. The young leaves are bright orange to reddish in colour, turning green as they mature.

The fruits are produced in bunches and resemble cherries. The fruit is round and shiny, turning from light green to a deep red colour upon ripening. The flesh is crunchy but sour and acidic in taste. The fruits are edible but generally not eaten fresh ... they are more often made into jams, preserves, and syrups.

The fruit is rich in an antimicrobial agent-2,3-Dihydroxybenzoic acid.
