ABSTRACT

There are several other fruit comparisons. Some think Ximenia fruits are like cherries (P. cerasus). These people say cerise de mer (ocean cherry, Haiti), ciruela cimarrón (wild cherry, Cuba), ciruelillo (little cherry, Mexico, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico), and ciruelo (cherry, Colombia). To many, they are more like lemons or limes because of their sour taste. Names including this view are citron de mer (seaside lemon, Haiti), limoncillo [de playa] ([beach] little lemon, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Colombia), muri lime (Guyana), or anger de montagne [oranger des falaises] (wild [false] orange, Guadeloupe), and wild lime (USA, Belize, Guyana).
