Pouteria valparadisaea, also known as Pouteria splendens, is a species of plant in the family Sapotaceae. It is endemic to the coastal areas of Central Chile. Due to the current rates of habitat loss, a recent study proposed to reclassify this species as Endangered.[3] Produces an edible fruit similar to that of lucuma fruit.
