Notes and observations

WPB: This was probably introduced to Spain about 1940 where it is now grown under "Navelina". Slightly pear-shaped fruit, very smooth skin, thin peel, texture somewhat ricey, low acid, small navel, almost resembles a Thomson navel.

EMN, 2/12/1988:Very smooth rind, like Leng, but rind is not thin like Leng & flesh is coarser. Fruit size probably better than Leng and may hold better on the tree.
