Conteúdo: 	The discovery of high natural ascorbic acid content in Acerola fruit (also known as Barbados cherry and West Indian cherry) by Asenjo and de Guzman in 1946 (2) aroused interest in this plant among horticulturists as well as food supplement industries. The 3-carpellate, drupaceous fruits which mature in approximately 21 days after anthesis, contain ascorbic acid ranging from 900 to over 3000/mgs, per 100 gms. when fully ripe. The plant is a bushy shrub attaining an ultimate height of 12 to 15 feet with either drooping or upright branching habit. The leaves are small and slightly pubescent. The pink flowers are 3/4 to 1 inch in diameter and are produced in clusters in the axils of the leaves on lateral spurs. There are 10 stamens, 3 styles and a superior ovvary. In Hawaii, flowering occurs in cycles approximately 25 days apart, commencing in April and continuing into the latter part of November. Scattered flowering during the winter and spring months is quite common.
