''Myrciaria glazioviana'', known as cabeludinha or yellow jaboticaba, is an evergreen shrub or small tree in the family Myrtaceae and order Myrtales. It is native to eastern Brazil and is cultivated in domestic orchards for its edible fruit.[[#cite_note-1|[1]]][[#cite_note-2|[2]]]

The accepted name is ''Myrciaria glazioviana''. The name has also appeared in records under ''Eugenia cabelludo glazioviana'' and ''Paramyrciaria glazioviana''; ''Plinia glomerata'' is a separate name that should not be used as an automatic identification for this species.[[#cite_note-1|[1]]][[#cite_note-3|[3]]]

== Description ==
The plant has a dense crown and a short, crooked bole that branches low. It is described as 2–4 m tall, with a bole 10–20 cm in diameter.[[#cite_note-2|[2]]] The fruit is an orange-yellow, globose berry 22–28 mm across, with translucent succulent pulp and a very sweet flavour.[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]

== Cultivation ==
Cabeludinha is grown in domestic orchards for its locally appreciated fruit. Young plants grow slowly after planting.[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]

=== Soil and water ===
In its native habitat the plant occurs on forested mountain slopes and favours rocky but moist soils. Cultivation soil should retain moisture while draining freely; a species-specific pH range is not established.[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]

=== Sun and humidity ===
The species succeeds in full sun to moderate shade. Its native occurrence in eastern Brazilian forested slopes indicates a humid setting, while the source does not establish a quantitative humidity requirement.[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]

=== Seasonal changes ===
A dependable species-specific flowering and fruiting calendar, dormancy pattern, and seasonal irrigation schedule are not established. Maintain even moisture during active growth and avoid prolonged saturation of the root zone.[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]

== Propagation ==
Seed has a short viability and is best sown as soon as it is ripe. Sow it in a semi-shaded nursery bed; germination may be low and can occur within 80–100 days. Seedlings grow slowly.[[#cite_note-2|[2]]] A dependable years-to-fruit interval is not established.[[#cite_note-2|[2]]] A verified vegetative-propagation method is not established.[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]

== Flowering, fruiting, and harvest ==
The species is cultivated for its edible fruit, but a dependable flowering period, fruit-development interval, and harvest season are not established.[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]
== Fruit and uses ==
The orange-yellow berry has translucent, succulent pulp and a very sweet flavour. It is eaten raw and is locally appreciated.[[#cite_note-2|[2]]] No medicinal use is established in the cited botanical account.[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]
