The common medlar, whose scientific name is Mespilus germanica , is a thorny shrub with conical and ferruginous-colored fruits. It is believed to originate from the East but is poorly cultivated. The medlar of Japan, on the other hand, is Eriobotrya Japonica , has yellow fruits with a smooth and somewhat resistant skin, with juicy and sweet-acid flesh; it originates from China and Japan and was introduced to the Mediterranean in the 19th century.
