The fruit of the wakwak tree.

"In the light of their reluctance to accept new foods, one wonders if
the American colonists would even have welcomed the fruit of the wakwak
tree if they had had the good luck to find it. It seems to have become
suddenly extinct after 1729, when it was described as one of the new
plants of the New World by a Turkish writer Ibrahim Effendi, who failed
unfortunately to state exactly where it grew -- a pity, for it seems to
have been a delightful plant. Its fruit, Ibrahim Effendi /dixit/, was
"ripe and attractive women."
