Not sure how to iterate over arrays

I'm not sure what I'm missing on this challenge. It would seem everything is ok but I keep getting the error about my text not being correct. Not sure what that means and what I;m doing wrong.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html ng-app="myApp">
<head>
  <title>Angular.js</title>
  <script src="js/angular.js"></script>
  <script src="app.js"></script>
</head>
<body ng-controller="myController">
  <ul id="bowlOfFruit">
    <li ng-repeat="name in bowlOfFruit">
      <span class="name">
        {{bowlOfFruit.name}}
      </span>
    </li>
  </ul>
</body>
</html>
app.js 
angular.module('myApp', [])
.controller('myController', function ($scope, $http) {
  $scope.bowlOfFruit = [
    {name: 'Apple'},
    {name: 'Pear'},
    {name: 'Orange'}
  ];
});

Hi Micah,

Try this:

<ul>
  <li ng-repeat="fruit in bowlOfFruit">
    {{fruit.name}}
  </li>
</ul>

Hope this helps!

I'm a little confused as too why and how that works when "fruit" isn't referenced anywhere unlike "name".
