Yes, there are some variations within this species in the look of the fruit.

So Cool Erwin, I have 5 plants, 2 or 3 years old, and hope to have fruits soon! I love chirimoya and atemoya

Wow you're close to harvesting ur own fruit soon then Huertas. I was not a fan of atemoya before due to difficulty in pollination but when i tasted it all the hard works will be worth it.

Everyone's tastes vary however for me, when I  first tasted sugar apple and loved it.  Then I tasted different atemoyas and really like them and thought sugar apples are just average and no big deal, even the raved about Big Red from Noel's tree.  Then I  had a number of ilamas and said this is top tier and better than both atemoya and sugar apples.   Now that I have been eating top quality and top tier Cherimoyas from California, other than ilamas which I still believe are equally as good as many top Cherimoyas,  sugar apples and most atemoyas are average. 

Oh, and to me, all Rollinia I have had (I have not had any from Puerto Rico, Hawaii or anywhere else other than what has been grown in Florida) have been subpar.  I have never had one that was more than a little sweet and taste was nothing that wanted to make me eat the whole fruit.

That being said, the fruit in the original post does not look like the Rollinia I have tasted so maybe its totally different.

Bsbullie, thanks for your input. I also wanted to try planting cherimoya but it's difficult to find seedlings here in the PH. Also, from what i've read online is that Cherimoya needs a cold climate to thrive.  I didnt knw about ilama i'll look it up maybe i can grow them here.

Biriba is right above a.reticulata as the worse anona except for Hunucma amarilla here is the mother tree in hunucma Yucatán

Well, I suppose this proves that taste, as well as beauty, is in the mind of the beholder. My durian-loving friend proves the adage as well. I have four biriba trees here in my farm, and I cherish every single fruit I can get my mouth on. To me they are simply wonderful....the epitome of sweet tropical flavor and uniqueness. Super easy to grow and very productive trees.
