Pistacia mexicana, also known as Mexican pistache, American pistachio[3] or wild pistachio[2] is a species of plant in the family Anacardiaceae found in Guatemala, Mexico, and the United States (Texas). It is threatened by habitat loss.[1]

Although goats browse the plant's leaves, the species is largely unimportant as a food source as the small seeds are often empty.[2]
