1. They are all, and almost always, marked with broken stripes of red.
2. These stripes are found either over the whole fruit, or only very indistinctly on the side exposed to the sun.
3. The stripes may be distinct—that is to say, truly striped; or between these stripes on the side next the sun the fruit is dotted, shaded, or washed with red; but on the shaded side the stripes are well defined.
4. The cells are regular.
5. They are of a purely sweet, vinous, or acid flavor.
6. They have not the same flavor as the Rose apples.
7. They do not decay, except when gathered before maturity.
