 21. The French call it pomme de liane, and the English honey- 

 suckle : but in most parts of South America the fruit is known 

 by the name of murucuja or granadilla ; for which the plant is 

 cultivated almost throughout South America, the fruit being 

 agreeable to most palates. The P. latirifblia is called also 

 muter -lemon. The flowers are red and violet and sweet-scented ; 

 the fruit about the size of a hen's-egg, but rather more elongated, 

 and tapering equally at both ends ; when ripe it is yellow, and 

 dotted over with white spots. It contains a whitish watery 

 pulp, which in the West Indies is usually sucked through a 

 small hole made in the rind, which is tough, soft, and thin ; the 

 juice has a peculiar aromatic flavour, is delicately acid, and allays 

 thirst agreeably.
