"Pear tomato Pear tomato or Corn Seed is the common name for any one in a group of indeterminate heirloom tomatoes. It originated in Europe in the 18th century. There are yellow, orange, and red varieties of this tomato; the yellow variety being most common. They are generally sweet, and are in the shape of a pear, but smaller. They are heirlooms and have 3 common other names, such as the ""Red/Orange/Yellow Pear Tomato Plants."" The pear tomato originated in Europe in the 18th century. Within the next century both England and the United States were introduced to the fruit."
"Pear The pear () tree and shrub are a species of genus Pyrus , in the family Rosaceae, bearing the pomaceous fruit of the same name. Several species of pear are valued for their edible fruit and juices while others are cultivated as trees. The word ""pear"" is probably from Germanic ""pera"" as a loanword of Vulgar Latin ""pira"", the plural of ""pirum"", akin to Greek ""apios"" (from Mycenaean ""ápisos""), of Semitic origin (""pirâ""), meaning ""fruit"". The adjective ""pyriform"" or ""piriform"" means pear-shaped. The pear is native to coastal and mildly temperate regions of the Old World, from western Europe"

Fruit bodies (mushrooms) can be identified by the tapering root-like stipe base, as well as the almond-like odor.

They are native to Australia, growing in the form of tall shrubs and trees. The genus includes at least two species with the common name woody pear, ""Xylomelum pyriforme"" in the eastern states of Australia, and ""Xylomelum occidentale"" in Western Australia. Two species, ""Xylomelum angustifolium"" and ""Xylomelum occidentale"", are endemic to Western Australia . The remaining species are found in NSW and Queensland.

"Pyrus salicifolia Pyrus salicifolia is a species of pear, native to the Middle East. It is widely grown as an ornamental tree, almost always as a pendulous (or ""weeping"") cultivar, and is called by various common names, including willow-leaved pear, weeping pear, and similar. The tree is deciduous and of comparatively small stature, rarely reaching 10–12 meters in height. The crown is rounded. It has pendulous, silvery foliage, superficially similar to a weeping willow. The flowers are large and pure white highlighted with black-tipped stamens although the buds are tipped with red. The small green fruits are inedible, being hard"

Flowers are hermaphroditic, usually strongly zygomorphic, in determinate cymose inflorescences, and subtended by conspicuous, spirally arranged bracts. The perianth is composed of two whorls, a fused tubular calyx, and a tubular corolla with one lobe larger than the other two. Flowers typically have two of their stamenoids (sterile stamens) fused to form a petaloid lip, and have only one fertile stamen."
