Durian.
Durian (scientific name: DuriozibethinusMurr) is a giant tropical evergreen tree of the order Malvaceae and Kapokaceae, with oblong leaves, pointed tips, cymes, light yellow flowers, and fruit the size of a football. Firm, with dense triangular thorns, the flesh is composed of arils. The flesh is light yellow, sticky and juicy. It is a fruit of great economic value.
Durian is one of the famous tropical fruits, native to Malaysia. Some countries in Southeast Asia plant more, with Thailand the most among them. It is also grown in Guangdong and Hainan, China. Durian is the most famous in Thailand and is known as the "King of Fruits". Its smell is strong, those who love it praise its fragrance, and those who hate it complain about its smell.
There is a legend that during the Ming Dynasty in ancient China, when the sailing fleet arrived in what is now Southeast Asia and tasted the local specialty fruit, Zheng He greatly appreciated the fruit. However, the fruit could only ripen once a year. Therefore, it was named Lianlian, and later generations took its homophony and called it durian.
