Jaltomata cajacayensis (also called musho in Quechua) is a plant species native to Peru.[1] The name comes from the Cajacay District, where it was recognized by Mione as a new species.[1]
Jaltomata cajacayensis is a perennial shrub that grows up to 1.1 m in height. The flowers are whitish-green, and the fruits are berries, orange at maturity, round and 5–9 mm in diameter.[1][2] They are sweet and eaten raw by local people, who do not cultivate them but let them grow by the agricultural fields.[2][1] Leaves and flowers are used in Peru to make a tea used for stomach ache, diarrhea and menstrual cycle regulation.[1]
