Micropholis is flowering plant genus in the family Sapotaceae, containing 38 species. These trees occur mainly in tropical South America, and most locally known as "cafetos", literally meaning "coffee plants". But while both Micropholis and the coffeeplant genus Coffea are asterids, the present genus is part of the Ericales – a quite basal asterid lineage –, while Coffea belongs to the more advanced Gentianales.
