How to identify Charichuela
Identify Charichuela by combining habit, leaf characters, flower or fruit details, location, and its family pattern. Do not rely on one feature alone.
- Look for a tree habit.
- Confirm leaf shape: Elliptic (widest at middle).
- Confirm flower colour: Yellow.
- In season, compare flowering and fruiting time: March-July.
- Confirm it sits within the Clusiaceae family pattern, then compare close relatives before deciding it is Charichuela.
