Summary description from Wikipedia:

Sideroxylon stevensonii

Sideroxylon stevensonii is a species of plant in the family Sapotaceae. It is found in Belize and Guatemala.

The faisán or pheasant zapote is a large tree of the Mopan river region of Belize. It is used primarily for lumber. Latex from this tree is used regionally as a substitute for gum.

It is listed on by many international agencies as an endangered species.
