White Manjack

Cordia dentata

The White Manjack (Cordia dentata) is a small to medium-sized tree or shrub in the borage family (Boraginaceae). White Manjack produces small, white, or pale cream flowers. These flowers are funnel-shaped and grow in clusters at the tips of branches. They are often fragrant and attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. The plant bears small, round to oval fruits that are fleshy when mature and contain a single seed. Birds often eat the fruits, aiding in seed dispersal.
