Antidesmasee text Antidesma is a genus of about 100 tropical plants from the newly-created family Phyllanthaceae. This genus consists of shrubs or trees, up to 30 m, growing in evergreen forests. They occur in the Old World tropics, mainly in SE Asia, but also in tropical Australia and Africa. There are 18 species and five varieties of Antidesma endemic in Thailand. The evergreen (sometimes deciduous) simple leaves have fine hairs and show no glands. They grow in an alternate arrangement, with entire, symmetrical blades. They are connected to the stem with a petiole (= leaf stalk) and stipules (= appendage at the base of a leaf stalk). The flowers grow in a raceme, with 1 bract per flower, on a short pedicel (tiny stalk, supporting a single flower). Their color is light yellowish green, but may turn red when mature. These plants are dioecious, i.e. unisexual, with male and female flowers on separate plants. There are 3 to 8 fused sepals, but no petals. The male flowers have 2 to 8 stamens, but no pistils. The female flowers have 2 to 6 stigmas. They have a 1-locular ovary with 2 ovules. The globose to ellipsoid fruits resemble a drupe. Their color varies from green to white, red and black. The fleshy and juicy fruits are edible with a sour to bitter sweet taste. Species - Antidesma acidum : (Thailand)
