Manilkara kauki is a plant in the subfamily Sapotoideae, and the tribe Sapoteae of the family Sapotaceae;[3] and is the type species for the genus Manilkara.[4][3] It occurs in tropical Asia from Indo-China (Cambodia, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam) to Malesia (Indonesia, Malaysia and Papua New Guinea); and also in northern QueenslandinAustralia.

It is rarely planted commercially but as an ornamental plant.[5]: 41, 50 

Names[edit]

Throughout the world it is known generally by the name caqui,[3] but in Australia it is called wongi. In Java, the plant is called sawo kacik. The fruit is called adão (Adam’s fruit) in Konkani.

Description[edit]

Its leaves are rigid and have blunt tips, its upper surfaces are dark green while pale and silky underneath.[6][page needed]

Its fruiting season is from December to February, it produces edible ovoid fruit that turns dark orangish red when ripe, each are 2.5–5.32 cm long and 2 cm wide with a smooth pale brown seed inside.[7]: 35 

Uses[edit]

The fruit is reported to be very tasty, and is traditionally eaten by Torres Strait Islanders, who travel from island to island to harvest the crop.[citation needed] Members and servants of Javanese royal families plant them in palace gardens as a symbol of kindness and loyalty.[7]: 36 

It often grows wild in forests attracting birds and primates.[5]: 50  For reforestation purposes, M. kauki is a useful graft stock for M. zapota, and parts of the plant are used in herbal medicine.[3]
