Planchonella obovata

#102 They called me Planchonella obovata, also known as Sideroxylon merrillii, Planchonella merrillii, and Sideroxylon brownii. I pay homage to the male botanists Elmer Drew Merrill, and Robert Brown, Clair Alan Brown, Nicholas Edward Brown, Addison Brown, Andrew Phillip Brown, or William Brown. They first catalogued me in 1890.
