A pitaya is the fruit of several
cactus species, most importantly of the genus Hylocereus (sweet
pitayas).These fruits are commonly known as "dragon fruit" as in the
Chinese huǒ lóng guǒ, "fire dragon fruit", and lóng zhū guǒ, "dragon
pearl fruit", the Vietnamese thanh long meaning "green dragon", the
Indonesian and Malaysian buah naga, the Lao mark mang gohn, and the Thai
kaeo mangkon or "dragon crystal". Other vernacular names are strawberry
pear or nanettikafruit. The vine-like epiphytic pitaya-producing cacti
of the genus Hylocereus are native to Mexico, Central America, and South
America.
