Pyrus glabra, (Persian: انچوچک, referring to the seeds), is a species wild pear native to Iran.

[2] Preferring to grow in the Zagros Mountains at about 2000 m above sea level, it is a small, spiny tree, typically 4.6 m tall, reaching 7.8 m.[3] The plant was said to exude a sweet substance called manna of Luristan, which was collected by locals and consumed.

[4] Its fruit are heavy with tannins and very sour, but are still gathered in the wild for the vegetable oil in the seeds, which are larger than typical pear seeds.

[5] The oil keeps for a long time and is high in omega-6 fatty acids.
