This is a native of southern Mexico and

yields a delicious fruit with luscious pineapple flavor. The outer

skin of the fruit, if eaten, causes a stinging sensation in the

are singularly perforated with holes at irregular intervals, from

natural causes not sufficiently explained. In Trinidad the plant

is called the Ceriman.
