[Sca-cooks] quince apple

[Tonya R Stinson]

Quince carries the latin name Cydonia Rosaceae.
quince-apple is Cydonia Vulgaris.  Therefore must be two different fruits.  Yet everything I've been able to find as a description of the fruit describes them both exactly the same.  A very hard fuzzy light green to pale yellow fruit.  Sounds like you came up with a really good question here.

AHHHH!!!! FOUND IT!!!!  They ARE the same!!! :)
Quince: Cydonia oblonga

Introduction

The quince is now the only member of the genus Cydonia, the three shrubby quinces previously included are now classified in Chaenomeles. Quince has previously been classified as Pyrus cydonia and Cydonia vulgaris.
