The name "Calville Malingre" has long been applied to more than one apple. Bunyard, in his Handbook of Hardy Fruits, remarks that "this apple has been always much confused," and is careful to specify that the variety he describes is "that known under this name in Britain" — a medium, round, slightly flattened culinary apple in season from December to March, listed under the German synonym Braunroter Winter Calville. The apple described below, which Downing takes from Hogg, is a different fruit: very large, elongated and ribbed, with a season given as July to April. The two are therefore presented here as separate varieties — see Calville Malingre (Bunyard) for the British form.
