Dewandaru ( Eugenia uniflora ) is a plant species in the Myrtaceae family; it is a large shrub or small, slow-growing tree with a conical shape that can reach a height of 8 meters. Its stems and leaves release a pungent, resinous aroma that can cause respiratory irritation in susceptible individuals. The leaves are exstipulate (lacking stipules), ovate, and glossy, growing in opposite pairs. Young leaves are bronze, copper, or reddish-brown, later turning dark green and glossy upon maturity; they reach lengths of up to 4 centimeters. The flowers feature four white petals and grow on long, slender stalks. A conspicuous cluster of white stamens occupies the center, tipped with yellow anthers. The flowers develop into ribbed fruits measuring 2–4 cm in length, which transition in color from green to orange, bright red, and finally maroon.

Pomegranate ( Punica granatum ) is a fruit-bearing plant in the Lythraceae family. It is a small tree or shrub reaching a height of 2–5 meters, featuring a woody trunk and brittle, angular, heavily branched twigs. Spines are found at the leaf axils; these are brown when young and turn green with age. P. granatum has simple, clustered leaves with short stalks. The leaf blades range from oblong to lanceolate in shape, with a tapering base, a blunt tip, and entire (smooth) margins. They feature pinnate venation and a glossy surface, measuring 1–9 cm in length and 0.5–2.5 cm in width, and are green in color. The flowers are solitary, short-stalked, and emerge at the tips of twigs or from the uppermost leaf axils; they typically appear in clusters of 1–5 and come in red, white, or purple. The fruit is a berry—round with a diameter of 5–12 cm—featuring a skin that can be greenish-purple, white, reddish-brown, or blackish-purple, sometimes marked with darker, raised patches.

All parts of the tree contain a thick, milky-white latex. M. zapota features simple, alternately arranged leaves that often cluster at the tips of the twigs. The leaf blades have entire margins and are dark green and glossy; they range in shape from elliptic-ovate to somewhat lanceolate, measuring 1.5–7 cm in width and 3.5–15 cm in length. Both the base and apex are pointed, the stalks are 1–3.5 cm long, and the midrib is prominent on the underside. The flowers are solitary, appearing in the leaf axils near the twig tips on 1–2 cm stalks; they often hang downwards and reach up to 1.5 cm in diameter. The exterior is covered in brownish hairs. The calyx is usually arranged in two whorls, while the corolla is bell-shaped, white, and lobed up to halfway down the tube. The fruit...
