canistel

[edit]

What is the source indicating that this term is used to refer to the canistel fruit? According to zh:WP the canistel is called 蛋黄果 in Chinese. 173.89.236.187 02:21, 3 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

One might just as easily ask what the source is that 蛋黄果 is used to refer to the canistel fruit (we don't count Wikipedias as sources). Not that I know anything terms for canistel in Chinese. Chuck Entz (talk) 03:48, 3 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
This paper says that the scientific name of 蛋黄果 is Lucuma nervosa, one of the scientific names of the canistel (also called eggfruit). — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 07:04, 3 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
