Bunchosia armeniaca is a species in the family Malpighiaceae native to northwestern South America (Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, Venezuela, Brazil, and Peru).

[2][3] Common names include cansaboca,[4] ciruela de fraile[4] (friar's plum), guaimaro, indano,[4] and cold-earth mamey.

It can be found between 100–2600 m of elevation in a wide range of ecological habitats.

[6][7][8][9][10] Bunchosia armeniaca yields a fruit that is very sweet and with cloying red pulp, which adheres strongly to the seeds, hence the Spanish etymology cansaboca (tired mouth).

[4] Due to rapid spoilage on the tree, the fruit are often harvested while still a creamy-green and ripened to a red colour indoors.
