Any ideas about this one? I was just given two of the fruits by a neighbor, have not seen the plant. The fruit are triangular to pentagonal and have white flesh although they have yet to ripen.

The tips are pinched but not bottle-nosed.

They look rather like 'Orinoco', often called 'Largo' around here.
