'Thai green' eggplant

The flower, fruits and leaves of the beautiful 'Thai Green' eggplant. One of my favorites. The green of the young seedless fruits is beautiful (top right). It gets paler as the fruit matures ((left) and starts bearing seeds. The whole plant can be seen at www.flickr.com/photos/33341718@N08/3289473172/

This eggplant is called มะเขือยาว (Ma khuea yao) in Thai. Not to be confused with the bite-sized round eggplant มะเขือเปราะ (Ma khuea pro), the Thai pea eggplant มะเขือพวง (Ma khuea phuang) or the purple eggplant มะเขือม่วง (Ma khuea muang).
