This is papaya and its local name is betik. Its scientifc name is Carica papaya L. and belongs to family Caricaceae. This picture is taken in my hostel, Kolej Pendeta Zaba, UKM.
The papaya (from Carib via Spanish), is the fruit of the plant Carica papaya, in the genus Carica. It is native to the tropics of the Americas, and was cultivated in Mexico several centuries before the emergence of the Mesoamerican classic cultures. Papaya is also known as lechoza (Venezuela, Puerto Rico, the Philippines and the Dominican Republic), mamão (Brazil), Papol \ Guslabu (Tree melon in Sinhalese), papaw (Sri Lankan English), pawpaw or tree melon, as well as tree melon (木瓜) in Chinese and đu đủ in Vietnamese. However the North American pawpaw is a different species, in the genus Asimina.
It is a large tree-like plant, the single stem growing from 5 to 10 meters tall, with spirally arranged leaves confined to the top of the trunk; the lower trunk is conspicuously scarred where leaves and fruit were borne. The leaves are large, 50-70 cm diameter, deeply palmately lobed with 7 lobes. The tree is usually unbranched if unlopped. The flowers are similar in shape to the flowers of the Plumeria but are much smaller and wax like. They appear on the axils of the leaves, maturing into the large 15-45 cm long, 10-30 cm diameter fruit. The fruit is ripe when it feels soft (like a ripe avocado or a bit softer) and its skin has attained an amber to orange hue. The fruit's taste is vaguely similar to pineapple and peach, although much milder without the tartness, creamier, and more fragrant, with a texture of slightly over-ripened cantaloupe.
Botany Bay Plantation was privately owned until the death of its owner, Margaret Morgan Pepper, who left it to the residents of South Carolina in her will. The beach is amazing - words don't describe the beauty of its natural landscape.

Botany bay beach. photos taken on a beach walk on a november afternoon just down the road from where i live. cliftonville, margate kent.
Taken while walking along Viking Coastal Path from Margate towards Broadstairs last summer. I have wanted to visit this place for a couple of years after seeing other photographers' images. The most interesting structures are these cliff outcrops. I decided to take looking back towards Margate, with a distant view of the North Foreland.
