The rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum) is a medium-sized tropical tree in the family Sapindaceae, native to Southeast Asia. The fruit is a round to oval single-seeded drupe, 3 to 6 centimetres (11⁄4 to 21⁄4 inches) long and 3 to 4 centimetres (11⁄4 to 11⁄2 inches) wide. The leathery skin is reddish (rarely orange or yellow) and covered with fleshy pliable spines, hence the name rambutan, which is derived from a Malay word meaning 'hair'. The spines (also known as "spinterns") contribute to the transpiration of the fruit, which can affect the fruit's quality. The flesh, known as the aril, is translucent, whitish, or very pale pink, with a sweet, mildly acidic flavor reminiscent of grapes. The single seed is glossy brown, about 1.0 to 1.3 centimetres (3⁄8 to 1⁄2 inch) long, with a white basal scar. This photograph shows two rambutans, one whole and one half-peeled to expose the aril, as well as a rambutan seed. The photograph was focus-stacked from 31 separate images.Photograph credit: Ivar Leidus

When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up. — C.S. Lewis

To kill a man in a paroxysm of passion is understandable, but to have him killed by someone else after calm and serious meditation and on the pretext of duty honourably discharged is incomprehensible. -- Marquis de Sade about death penalty
