Flowers all yellowish green except purple-violet limen floor. Edge of limen white. No purple on corona. Corona shorter than that of same taxon at Tecoman, Colima. Ripe fruits dark blueish black, with glaucous bloom, thus appearing dark grey-blue; shape varies from depressed globose to slightly ellipsoid, somewhat trigonal in X-section. Outer fruit layer purple-staining; inner lining (placenta) greenish. Purple layer mildly fruity, neither sweet nor sour. Arils clear, distinct white line on side, close fitting, +/- tasteless.
