Sapindaceae.<BR/><BR/>The Rambutan has many soft spinterns or bristle like appendages on the skin of fruit. Whereas the Lychee lacks these and has segmented protuberances instead. (similar in appearance to that of Raspberry or Blackberry fruit).<BR/><BR/>Both of them are excellent eating in my opinion. And very common throughout SE Asia.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>Tristan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28640064.post-7313360490367677012008-01-05T02:19:00.000+11:002008-01-05T02:19:00.000+11:00I love lychees...there's also another plant that i...I love lychees...there's also another plant that is very similar that I discovered up north: the rambutan..and I am totally unable to tell the difference between them. <BR/><BR/>My Nan and Pop lived in Bowen and Xmas as a kid is filled with memories of Bowen mangoes and lychees arriving by freight..*yum*.thishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17965085782223890135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28640064.post-22747225862385903302007-12-31T13:01:00.000+11:002007-12-31T13:01:00.000+11:00How interesting!

It's great start for a poem in a children's book. You might want to work on that!
