Nephelium lappaceum L. - Sapindaceae
rambutan, Rambutan

Evergreen tree, 12-20m high, native to Indonesia and Malaysia.

„The fruit is a round to oval single-seeded berry, 3–6 cm (rarely to 8 cm) long and 3–4 cm broad, borne in a loose pendant cluster of 10–20 together. The leathery skin is reddish (rarely orange or yellow), and covered with fleshy pliable spines, hence the name, which means 'hairs'. The fruit flesh, which is actually the aril, is translucent, whitish or very pale pink, with a sweet, mildly acidic flavor very reminiscent of grapes.“ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rambutan
