They are dense multiple-trunked shrubs or small to medium-sized trees from 1 to 20 m tall.

The generic name is derived from the Greek words κονος (konos), meaning "cone" and καρπος (karpos) meaning "fruit".[2]

C. erectus is native to the coasts of tropical America from Bermuda, the Bahamas, and southern Florida through the West Indies, from Mexico south on the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean, and Atlantic Coasts to Brazil, and on the Pacific Coast from Mexico to Peru, including the Galapagos Islands, and on the coast of western Africa from Senegal to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It has been rarely introduced elsewhere.[3] C. lancifolius is native to Somalia and Yemen, and is cultivated in eastern and northern Africa and the Arabian peninsula.[4]
