Sideroxylon mascatense is a species of flowering plant that belongs to the Sapotaceae family. It is a shrub or small tree that can grow up to 15 meters tall and is commonly found in the Horn of Africa, southern Arabian Peninsula, and parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan. In Oman, it is the main tree in semi-evergreen woodlands and is often found alongside other plants such as olive, juniper, and myrtle. The plant's fruit is edible and is collected for local consumption and sometimes sold in markets. However, overgrazing and excessive harvesting of timber and firewood have led to a decline in its population in certain areas.
