Egyptian Mimusops

Mimusops laurifolia is a large evergreen tree, native to the Ethiopian Highlands and the highlands of the south-eastern Arabian Peninsula. It grows up to 15 metres tall, and up to 25 metres under optimal conditions, and the fruit is an oval yellow berry. Local communities gather the edible fruit from wild trees and occasionally use the timber for fuel, construction and carpentry. Wikipedia says it was cultivated in ancient Egypt: twigs and leaves have been found in tombs from the Twelfth Dynasty to Greco-Roman times, and it was mentioned in texts from the 18th Dynasty onwards. The wood was fashioned into ushabti figurines and other funerary objects, or into furniture, and an Egyptian gilded mummy mask of 100 BCE to 50 CE is carved from its wood. The article says it is often called by its Ancient Greek name persea, though it is unrelated to the genus of that name.
