Critically endangered, sigh.
Annonaceae is the family of the Paw Paw, Cherimoya and Soursop. Apart of the biodiversity values, one more member could be valuable in the development of new types of hybrid 'cherimoya like' fruits like in the Atemoya case. Uvariopsis is not known as been edible in any case and is harvested by its wood and the antimalarial and anticancerous activity of its leaves.
