The objective of this work was to characterize plants and fruits of native muricy (Byrsonima verbascifolia Rich. former. Juss), a tropical underutilized and endangered fruit tree in a coastal area of Northeast Brazil. There were evaluated the main biometric parameters of 20 plants and 200 fruits collected from a natural occurring area in Alagoas. The fresh fruits weight 1,21 g in average, the longitudinal and transversal diameter of the fruits were, respectively, 8,5 mm and 7,4 mm with an average income of 63% of pulp. The fresh mass of the fruit was proportional to the amount of pulp (r = 0,605; P < 0,05), indicating an interesting potential to select elite trees with fruit quality for futures works on genetic improvement.
