Description
Eugenia sp. “Rugosa Abacaxi” is a rare Brazilian Eugenia-type Myrtaceae offered under its collector / field name.
The name “rugosa” refers to the rough, textured fruit surface, while “abacaxi” means pineapple in Portuguese. This makes the material especially attractive for collectors, since it suggests a rare rugose-fruited Eugenia with possible pineapple-like flavor notes.
For now, we are keeping the identification conservative as:
Eugenia sp. “Rugosa Abacaxi”
The exact botanical species is not yet confirmed, so it is being offered under its collector / field name rather than a formal species name.

Growing notes:
Sow fresh. Eugenia seeds should not be allowed to dry out completely. Use a well-drained but moisture-retentive substrate, such as peat/coir with perlite, vermiculite, fine bark, or similar.
Keep warm, humid, and in bright shade until germination. Avoid waterlogging, especially during early root development.
Young seedlings should be protected from strong direct sun, cold temperatures, drying winds, and stagnant wet soil. Gradually acclimate to stronger light as they grow.
