anywhere but here; as arisahs, mericasahs, petangos, etc. Arisahs are an
excellent fruit, not much bigger than a large cherry; shaped like a
catherine-pear, being small at the stem, and swelling bigger towards the
end. They are of a greenish colour, and have small seeds as big as
mustard seeds; they are somewhat tart, yet pleasant, and very wholesome,
and may be eaten by sick people.

Mericasahs are an excellent fruit, of which there are 2 sorts; one
growing on a small tree or shrub, which is counted the best; the other
growing on a kind of shrub like a vine, which they plant about arbors to
make a shade, having many broad leaves. The fruit is as big as a small
orange, round and green. When they are ripe they are soft and fit to eat;
full of white pulp mixed thick with little black seeds, and there is no
separating one from the other till they are in your mouth; when you suck
in the white pulp and spit out the stones. They are tart, pleasant, and
very wholesome.

Petangos are a small red fruit that grow also on small trees and are as
big as cherries, but not so globular, having one flat side, and also 5 or
6 small protuberant ridges. It is a very pleasant tart fruit, and has a
pretty large flattish stone in the middle.

Petumbos are a yellow fruit (growing on a shrub like a vine) bigger than
cherries with a pretty large stone. These are sweet, but rough in the
mouth.

Mungaroos are a fruit as big as cherries, red on one side and white on
the other side: they are said to be full of small seeds, which are
commonly swallowed in eating them.
