This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I didn't realize how similar they were to pawpaws! That's so interesting, thank you for this picture.

I'm Googling and I don't think they're actually related. They're from totally different parts of the world. But it's probably another excellent example of convergent evolution.
