It's a type of fruit . I wondered about the name itself and got this from another site.
(�Maypops� is a two-season name. Here in Florida and other parts of the south they can blossom in May. But the fruits don�t get big enough to step on and �pop� until June or July. The name comes from �maracock� which is what the Powhatan Indians called it. And though thought of a �southern� wild fruit, Maypops grow as far north as Pennsylvania and west to Kansas, south to Texas, central Florida and Bermuda. Under cultivation P. incarnata likes full sun to partial shade, light, evenly moist soil. Deciduous, it can take temperatures down to 5F. In the wild they grow in sunny areas with good drainage, at the top of a berm, not the bottom. Many caterpillars like the Maypop including the Gulf Fritillary and Zebra Wing Butterfly.
The link has a picture of the bloom. The fruit is about the size of and egg and same shape. Dark green when growing and turns almost yellow in my area. It grows wild here.
