Crassostrea tulipa
Crassostrea tulipa, saepe C. gasar appellata, est species ostreorum ad litora Africae occidentalis sponte crescens ibique assidue ad comedendum quaesita.

Eustathius de la Fosse, explorator Francicus, litus Granorum anno 1479/1480 visitans, ostrea huius speciei "tantae magnitudinis, ut cruda comedere abominati sumus" e granis meleguetis contusis elixata comedit cum oryza Africana butyro caprino et melle illita: ita quarantesimam optimo modo celebravit.
