Myrciaria cuspidata, commonly known as camboim or cambuím, is a species of plant in the family Myrtaceae. It is found in coastal forests and semideciduous forests in Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina. It grows slowly to a semideciduous shrub or small tree, between 3 and 6 metres (9.8 and 20 ft) tall, with orange or black berries around 10 mm (0.39 in) in diameter.

Etymology

The name Cambuím comes from Tupi–Guarani and means "fruit that is born on the thin branch".
