Coccoloba uvifera is a species of flowering plant in the buckwheat family, Polygonaceae, that is native to coastal beaches throughout tropical America and the Caribbean, including southern Florida, the Bahamas, the Greater and Lesser Antilles, and Bermuda.Common names include seagrape and baygrape.Sea grape is a dioecious species, that is, male and female flowers are borne on separate plants, and cross-pollination is necessary for fruit to develop.Honey bees and other insects help pollinate these plants; male and female plants can be distinguished by the appearance of their flowers, as males usually show dead flower stalks.In late summer, it bears green fruit, about 2 cm (0.79 in) diameter, in large, grape-like clusters.

The fruit gradually ripens to a purplish color.Each contains a large pit that constitutes most of the volume of the fruit.Sea Grape fruit plants in keralais now available in our farms.
