Annona sylvatica (syn. Rollinia sylvatica) is a species of flowering plant in the family Annonaceae, native to Brazil.[1] Its plentiful fruit is edible and is regularly gathered in the wild by locals, and it is occasionally cultivated. It is considered a good species to use for reforestry projects, as it is very fast growing when young.[2]
