''Caryocar'' (souari trees) is a genus of flowering plants, in the South American family Caryocaraceae described as a genus by Linnaeus in 1771.〔Linnaeus, Carl von. 1771. Mantissa Plantarum 2: 154, 247〕〔(Tropicos, ''Caryocar'' L. )〕 It is native primarily to South America with a few species extending into Central America and the West Indies.〔(Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families )〕 ''Caryocar'' consists of trees that yield a strong timber. Some of the species within the genus ''Caryocar'' have edible fruits, called souari-nuts or sawarri-nuts.〔Hoehne (1946)〕 The most well-known species is probably the Pekea-nut (''C. nuciferum''). In Brazil the Pequi (''C. brasiliense'') is most popular; it has a variety of uses, not the least among them being the production of pequi oil. Furthermore, some species are used by indigenous peoples to produce poisons for hunting. ;Species〔 # ''Caryocar amygdaliferum'' Mutis - Colombia, Panama # ''Caryocar amygdaliforme'' G.Don - Ecuador, N Peru # ''Caryocar brasiliense'' A.St.-Hil. - Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay # ''Caryocar coriaceum'' Wittm. - N Brazil # ''Caryocar costaricense'' Donn.Sm. - Costa Rica # ''Caryocar cuneatum'' Wittm. - Brazil # ''Caryocar dentatum'' Gleason - NW Brazil, Bolivia # ''Caryocar edule'' Casar. - Bahia, Rio de Janeiro # ''Caryocar glabrum'' (Aubl.)
