papaw

In these low grounds the beautiful papaw tree, whose luscious fruit was now ripe, occurs in great abundance.

Open palm-thatched huts peep forth at intervals from amidst groves of banana, mango, cotton, and papaw trees and palms.

Merian has figured the caterpillar of another moth which feeds upon the Papaw-tree (Carica Papaya) with similar hairs.

On the edge of the canebrake a thicket of papaw and blackberry vines added rankness and forest secrecy.

The papaw or tree-melon also grows very finely here, and is a very useful and wholesome fruit.
