derived its name.

pale green, thick and membranous, strewed all over with small russety dots, and faintly mottled 
with a tinge of brownish red next the sun. Eye : small and closed, set in a narrow, shallow and 
plaited basin. Stalk : short, inserted in a very shallow cavity. Flesh : greenish white, tender, 
juicy, sugary and brisk.
