Flower: flower buds white with a slight flush. Petals overlapping, wrinkled, cupped. Anthers red; pollen germination poor. Styles straight, equal in length to the stamens. Flowering period mid-season. Fruit: Turbinate, 37-57 mm. long, 42-58 mm. diameter. Stem 20-40 mm., often partially green and usually connected to the fruit by a fleshy lip. Stem basin absent or very slight. Eye basin slight. Calyx variable, usually reflexed; sepals variable, often joined; stamens attached well below base of sepals. Skin greenish yellow, with a slight to heavy flush; russet at stem and eye, often spreading to cheek; lenticels fairly conspicuous, small and brown; scab sometimes present. Core without axial sac.
