Genipa Americana

Genipa Americana
L.
Genipap (E); Abugui (Cu); Chipara (Ch); Guaytil blanco (P); Jugua (S); Quipara (Ch); Saptur (Cu) . The pulp of the fruits, edible raw, is used to make sweet and fermented beverages and is sometimes pickled with vinegar and onions. The flowers are attractive to bees and the fruits to cattle. Indians paint their bodies black with the pulp. Some Indians paint their feet with the juice, believing that it makes them invisible to snakes (!). It appears to be bactericidal, germicidal, and insect repellent, and may improve the complexion. It is said to be the only medicine capable of flushing the parasitic catfish, which attacks man south of the study areas.
