In Costa Rica, two species of the genus Apocynaceae, Gonolobus edulis and Gonolobus taylorianus are known by the popular name of cuayote. The fruit of both species is traditionally used for food purposes. A medicinal use of the plant and the fruit have also been reported for the treatment of warts and prostate.
