Little vignettes that have caught my eye around the house in the last little while.

Níspero, nipero and mespel are terms referring to certain fruit-bearing trees, or to their fruit in particular:

• Common Medlar (Mespilus germanica), the origin of the term (called Mispel in many Germanic languages, mispeli in Finnish, nespolo in Italian, etc.)
• Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica), widely traded under these names today, in particular in temperate countries
• Sapodilla (Manilkara zapota), often known by these terms in tropical countries in Latin America
• Manilkara huberi a tropical fruit
