Mike said: oh,no,you are wrong.I have found as below for this question(What is the english name for the puerto rican fruit called a quenepa and where c),it will help you,my kids.

WHEN I WAS A KID I WENT ON VACATION TO PUERTO RICO. THERE I ATE A FRUIT CALLED A QUENEPA. I MIGHT BE SPELLING IT WRONG. ANYWAY IT IS GREEN ROUND AND ABOUT 1TO 2 INCHES IN DIAMETER. THE SKIN IS THIN AND LOOKS A LITTLE LIKE A LIME. THE FRUIT IS FLESHY,SLIPPERY AND PEACH COLOR. THE PIT IS DARK BROWN. I DON'T THINK IT IS LYCHEE.

Answer:
"The mamoncillo (Melicoccus bijugatus), also known as the mamón (although the word is considered obscene in some Spanish speaking countries), chenet, guaya, gnep, ginep, genip, guinep, ginnip, quenepa, Spanish lime, or limoncillo, is a fruit-bearing tree in the soapberry family Sapindaceae, native or naturalised over a wide area of the American tropics including Central America, Colombia, Venezuela, Suriname and the Caribbean."
We generally don't get it in the USA but you mind find it in small Caribbean markets
The spelling is correct. The translation is "Genips" the are easier to find in Puerto Rico during the summer. Try calling the department of tourism maybe they have more info, ask for "quenepas"
