The mamey sapote is related to other sapotes such as sapodilla (Manilkara zapota), abiu (P. caimito) and canistel (P. campechiana), but unrelated to the black sapote (Diospyros digyna) and white sapote (Casimiroa edulis).[2] It should not be confused with the mammee ap- ple (Mammea americana).

Wood Anatomy of the Neotropical Sapotaceae Xxxvi. Syzygiopsis
WOOD ANATOMY OF THE NEOTROPICAL SAPOTACEAE XXXVI. SYZYGIOPSIS RESEARCH PAPER FPL 424 FOREST PRODUCTS LABORATORY FOREST SERVICE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE MADISON, WIS. OCTOBER 1982 Abstract Syzygiopsis consists of three species, oppositifolia and oblanceolata native to Amazonia and sericea of adjacent Venezuela. Syzygiopsis was first described by Adolpho Ducke in 1925 and consisted of the single species, S. oppositifolia. Later he had some doubts regarding the taxonomic status of his-new genus but did not suggest any possible alternates or alliances. In 1942 Baehni trans ferred Ducke's monotypic genus to Pouteria, producing the new combination Pouteria oppositifolia (Ducke) Baehni; in 1957 van Royen made another new combination, Planchonella oppositifolia (Ducke) van Royen, making it a part of the large Asiatic genus Planchonella. Anatomically, the wood shows little, if any, alliance with Planchonella but shares some features with species of Pouteria. Preface The Sapotaceae form an important part of the ecosystem in the neotropics; for example, limited inventories made in the Amazon Basin indicate that this family makes up about 25 percent of the standing timber volume there. This would represent an astronomical volume of timber but at present only a very small fraction is being utilized. Obviously, better information would help utilization-- especially if that information can result in clear identification of species. The Sapotaceae represent a well-marked and natural family but the homogeneous nature of their floral characters makes generic identification extremely diffi cult. This in turn is responsible for the extensive synonymy. Unfortunately, species continue to be named on the basis of flowering or fruiting material alone and this continues to add to the already confused state of affairs.

They are distinguished by the latex which flows from all broken portions; the alternate usually leathery leaves; the prominent stipule (↑) which encloses the terminal bud and the “fig” (↑) or syconia. This fleshy receptacle bears the flowers on the inside; as the seeds mature the receptacle enlarges and often softens (Think of the edible fig!).
