The durian is the fruit of several
tree species belonging to the genus Durio and the Malvaceae family
(although some taxonomists place Durio in a distinct family,
Durionaceae). Widely known and revered in southeast Asia as the "king of
fruits", the durian is distinctive for its large size, unique odour,
and formidable thorn-covered husk. The fruit can grow as large as 30
centimetres (12 in) long and 15 centimetres (6 in) in diameter, and it
typically weighs one to three kilograms (2 to 7 lb). Its shape ranges
from oblong to round, the colour of its husk green to brown, and its
flesh pale yellow to red, depending on the species.
