... Also, I have seen a similar fruit called longan(spelling?). It is sort of tan in color,but the inside looks very similar to lycees.Are its properties the same as those of lycee?

Thank you....

Longan (spelled correctly) is similar to lychee. In Chinese, the literal meaning of longan is "eye of the dragon". Longan is smaller than lychee. So, lychee is "more bang for your buck" (longan is typically more expensive too). But the taste of longan is more intense.
