(Spondias tuberosa) is a fruit that looks like a large, pale yellow plum, but whose soft, juicy pulp tastes a good deal like that of an orange, borne by a small Brazilian tree recently introduced here by the Bureau of Plant Industry. It is eaten raw and also made into jelly. The tree is remarkable for the large, round, cellular blackish tubers attached to its roots (somewhat like giant potatoes).
