Black sapote: Diospyros nigra (I think). Happy memories. Coming home from working in the CATIE collections with black sapote fruits. Eaten with the pulp slightly mashed after stirring in whorls of egg custard.
Richard Evans Schultes: Best known for his life-time work on mind-bending botanicals RES was also a Theobroma collector and taxonomist. My boss at UWI in Trinidad – Prof. FW Cope – had worked in the Upper Amazon with RES and had some interesting stories about their trip.
