Stalk three fourths of an mch long, pretty stout, planted in a wide, irregular cavity. Calyx with long segments, set in a rather shallow, wavy basin. Flesh yellowish, firm, crisp, with a brisk, high flavoured, acid juice. November to March. 140. Pound. Coxe. Thomp. A very large and showy fruit, but of very indifferent quality, and not worth cultivation where better sorts are to be had. The fruit is roundish-oblong, striped with red, on a dull greenish yellow ground. The stalk short, and deeply inserted. The flesh yellowish green, and without much flavour.
