Sobral & Couto

Myrciaria pilosa, commonly known as cambucá do sertão (interior cambucá) is a species of plant in the family Myrtaceae.[2] It is endemic to the stateofCeará in the north-east of Brazil. The plant is a small tree that grows to between 1.5 and 2 metres tall, and produces edible, red, spherical fruit round 20mm in diameter.[3]

Research has shown that the essential oil from the leaves of this plant has potential as an antimicrobial drug to control infection by multi-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus.[4]
