I looked in the Flora Neotropica and there is only one species of Crescentia
native to Peru: Crescentia amazonica. Of course Crescentia cujete is widely
naturalized. The difference should be in the size of the fruits: if these
are smaller than 8 cm it is C. amazonica; if biggere than 8 cm it is C.
cujete.
