# A Brazilian name with an island connection

Bourbon appears in Brazil’s older cultivar literature.

An Embrapa guide connects Bourbon with seed introductions through the island of Bourbon. It also records Espada as a northern Brazilian usage for Bourbon—a warning that the same name can mean different fruit in different places. The naming history is not fully resolved.

## The names it answers to

Name used in the cited Brazilian agricultural literature.
