Found this at Pasar Borneo today, together with the terung Iban, Solanum aethiopicum. It is almost identical to the former, just a lot smaller in size, with more showy hair.
.
The trader, an Iban lady said that the fruits
were acquired from Pahang, from a certain Orang Asli. According to her again, it had been a long
time since she encountered this type of hairy yellow round terung. There are abundant
supply of hairy terung in Sarawak when
she was still young. Apparently, it is
not cultivated anymore for its fruit.
Is this the fruit of Solanum lasiocarpum ?
