Narrative
Collected by F.C. Reimer in China: In southern Manchuria, in the region of the Chian Shan mountains, I found an excellent variety known as 'Ping Li'. This is a small, attractive pear, varying from 1.25 to 1.5 inches in diameter. It is usually somewhat oblate, although occasionally roundish or short turbinate in shape. the skin is very smooth, shiny, bright yellow with often a pink blush on the summy side, possessing many very small inconspicuous brownish specks. The stem is short, being about 1/4 inch long. The calyx is always persistent, large, open, lobes spreading and noticeably pressed against the top of the fruit. The flesh is white, very tender, very juicy, possesses no grit cells. It possesses a very refreshing, delightful, tart flavor. I regard it of excellent quality. When ripe the flesh separates readily from the core as in nearly all varieties of the P. ussuriensis. -- F.C. Reimer. 1919. Report of a trip to the Orient to collect and study Oriental pears.
