If you ever plan on taking a trip there you could find out about those species as well! If you want I can link some good channels to check out and learn about them too.

on the orange-red thing, orange is actually a fairly new invention, before that what we see as orange was just seen as a shade of red. and that's just in english, various languages have various names for parts of the spectrum and such, colours aren't an objective sort of thing at all. for example pink is distinct to us, but it's not even a spectral colour, just red with white mixed in, same with brown, is just a dark orange or red. russians have something like pink but it's based on blue, so for them baby blue is a separate colour (or at least i was taught this, apologies to russians if wrong)

@Mark Heller: True. The differences are stark enough that the original sources are typically referred to as "crop wild relatives" or "land races". You can also in some cases still get intermediary varieties, such as Einkorn wheat. In many cases, the original/ wild varieties appear and taste remarkably dissimilar from commercial varieties.

yep and in the case of this particular fruit, the seychelles was attached to india millions of years ago, so the little dillenia i'm reviewing here followed a different evolutionary path. Also unlike the Indian elephant apple, it was not cultivated. The elephant apple may be bigger because humans selected and spread trees with larger fruits and didn't propagate trees with small fruit.

Most of our fruit & veg has come through a significant amount of cultivation development to get where they are today, but that's not enough - Most if not all major crops were already a cut above the average before they were cultivated - usually due to evolution alongside megafauna or primates. People didn't take something like this Dillenia and turn it into something incredible - because the better genes aren't there yet.

@@alasdair_scott Good point, elephant apples are called that because elephants eat them. They would have favored large dillenia, which would have slowly evolved them to be as they are today.
