Lardizabala funaria is a species of plant in the finger fruit family from Chile . It is the only species in the genus Lardizabala . In Chile it is known as Cóguil , Voqui or Coguilera and internationally as Zabala .
description
Lardizabala funaria grows as an evergreen liana or climbing shrub. The bald plant winds up several meters on other plants. The plants also have simple tendrils and the older trunks can get quite thick.
The alternate and stalked leaves are usually double, rarely triple or single, threefold. The leathery, firm and shiny, more or less stalked, egg-shaped leaflets are glabrous. They are up to 5–10 centimeters long and usually with entire margins, but individual, distant, more or less large, (prickly) pointed teeth can occur. At the tip, the leaflets are usually pointed to pointed and often prickly and rounded to pointed or slightly heart-shaped at the base. The spread is sometimes unequal. There are sloping, larger stipules present (also interpreted as bracts of the inflorescences or flowers).
Lardizabala funaria is dioecious diocesan . In the male plants axillary, shorter and hanging clusters are formed, the female flowers appear individually. The functionally unisexual and threefold flowers with a double bloom envelope are dark purple to yellowish at the base. There are 6 roofy, fine-haired, slightly fleshy and petaloid, spreading sepals and 6 much smaller, narrow, dark, pointed petals each in two circles. The short-stalked, smaller male flowers have 6 short stamens that have grown together in a narrow tube and a few reduced pestillods or they are completely absent. The yellow, claw-shaped spreading anthers have small, pointed appendages at the tip. The longer-stalked, somewhat larger female flowers have 3 free, upper pistils with seated, elongated stigmas and 6 small staminodes.
Small, multi-seeded and fleshy, about 5–8 centimeters long, yellow more or less brownish or reddish to purple spotted, speckled, smooth, elongated, potato-like fruits, berries with a firm skin, are formed. They usually appear singly or up to three in a raspberry . The many smooth, blackish, small, up to about 8 millimeters large and irregularly shaped seeds lie in rows in a whitish, gelatinous pulp. The young fruits are green and bumpy.
The number of chromosomes is 2n = 28.
use
The sweet fruits are edible, they are used raw or cooked and are valued in Chile.
Ropes are made from the fibrous logs.
