Papaw (srr Papaya) 



Papaya. The common name for both the tree 

 and fruit of Carica Papaya is derived from 

 the Carab "ababai" which doubtless is a cor- 

 ruption of the American name papaya since 

 the species is known to be of South Ameri- 

 can or West Indian origin. The papaya has 

 so long been in cultivation in the tropics 

 that it is known under at least a dozen 

 common names, variously spelled, some of 

 which are used interchangeably even by the 

 same authors. Papa.va seems preferable as 

 the distinctive English name, although papaia 

 is a common spelling. Other current Eng- 

 lish names are tree-melon, pawpaw (which 

 see), papaw, melon zapote. lechoso, maneii, 

 and mamero.
