44. COCKSCOMB SCARLET. Hort Trans. Vol. vi. 

 p. 180. 



Fruit large, compressed, with a furrow along the

 berries are completely cockscombed, so much so as to 

 enclose the calyx within the fruit by surrounding the 

 end of the peduncle ; colour bright scarlet. Seeds 

 pale, slightly embedded between flat intervals. Flesh 

 pale scarlet, solid, with a large core, well-flavoured, but 

 without acid.
