Greek lissos ‘smooth’ + Greek karpos ‘fruit’. Ritter: “Fruit very large, 1½—2½ cm long, 1¼ —2¼ cm wide, red, with firmly attached flower remains, with only a few easily detached minute scales and microscopic flakes of wool in the axils, so that the fruit often appears completely smooth macroscopically (lissocarpus), skin-like, hollow.”
