Explanation:
Non sono totalmente sicura sul nome esatto del frutto, ma ho trovato il termine OWENIA VENOSA come albero australiano che produce questo tipo di prugna.

http://dict.die.net/sour plum/
Sour plum (Bot.), the edible acid fruit of an Australian
tree (Owenia venosa); also, the tree itself, which
furnished a hard reddish wood used by wheelwrights.

Io metterei: "varieta' australiana di prugna, frutto della pianta chiamata "Owenia Venosa" ".
