I do not know WHAT this is. I await the embarassment of finding out everyone else does! Tasty tho', verging on apple like, but sour. Pips/seeds inside kind of apple like with a pentagonal star like structure. Yellow on the inside, fruit are abt 10mm diameter.

Jersey Toadflax (Linaria pelisseriana)Observer
pjd1Description
Common along a narrow strip running along side of State Highway One from just south of Mercer, north along the main Trunk Rail Railway for about 1 kilometre. Growing in open, stony, poorly drained ground. Plants in full flower. Not noted here previously - in New Zealand this species is still rather scarce but is evidently starting to spread - current records I know for it are Auckland City (Onehunga and St Johns / Glen Dowie suburbs), Rangitoto Island, Tauranga and near Levin, State Highway One.
