That matches the Pomoideae pretty well! I would still bet on it being
Chaenomeles or similar, because only the ridging is anomalous. But
exactly what?
5 locules is right for Chaenomeles (but also for Cydonia, and several
other pome fruits).
The fruiting pedicels of Chaenomeles are short or absent, which would be
another feature to verify.
