82. MEMECYLON EDULE. 
Alie of the Telingas. 
Trunk very irregular in shape and size, covered with a dark-co- 
loured scabrous bark. 
Branches numerous, nearly erect. 
Leaves opposite, short-petioled, egg’d, smooth, shining, firm, entire, 
scarcely any veins; from three to four inches long, and from 
two to three broad. 
Umbellets many, compound, small; from scabrous elevations, where 
the leaves stood, over the old woody branches. 
Peduncles common and partial, four-sided. Pedicels round, coloured. 
The parts of fructification as described in Reichard’s edition of the 
Genera Plantarum. 
Seed: seldom more than one comes to perfection, though in the 
germs the rudiments of many are to be seen. 
A very common small tree, or large shrub, in every jungle on the 
coast. Flowers about the beginning of the hot season. 
The ripe berries are eaten by the natives; they have much pulp, 
of a bluish-black colour, and of an astringent quality. 
83. LIMONIA MONOPHYLLA. 
Linn. mant. 237. 
Adavie-nima (wild Lime) of the Telingas. 
Trunk irregular. Bark pretty smooth, greenish ash-colour. 
Branches numerous, very irregular. 
Thorns single, axillary, very strong, and very sharp, but in many 
plants entirely wanting. 
Leaves alternate, short-petioled, oblong, end-nick’d, smooth, firm, 
from two to three inches long, and one, or one and a half, 
broad. 
Stipules awl'd. 
Raceme axillary, short. 
Bractes awl'd, small. 
Calyx below, four-five-parted, permanent. 
Corol four-five-petal’d, oval, equal, expanding. Nectary cylindric: 
mouth ten-tooth’d: teeth alternately longer. 
Filaments none. 
Anthers rest on the teeth of the nectary. 
Germ above, globular. 
Style length of the nectary. 
Stigma four-five-lobed. 
Berry size of a nutmeg, very like a Lime, hence comes the Hindoo 
name; commonly four-cell’d. 
Seeds generally solitary. 
Is a native of the large extensive forests on the coast, where it 
grows to a small tree, though oftener found in the state of a large 
shrub. 
84. LIMONIA PENTAPHYLLA. 
Retz. obs. 5. p. 24. 
Gollunga of the Telingas. 
Trunk scarce any. Bark ash-colour’d. 
Branches numerous, nearly erect. 
Leaves alternate, three’d, four’d, fiv’d, generally fiv'd, feather-form. 
Leaflets alternate, oblong, entire, smooth, shining, from two to 
three inches long, and about one and a half broad. 
Petiole round, smooth. 
~ Raceme terminal, and axillary, short, often compound, covered with - 
a rust-coloured down. 
Bractes small, concave, one under each subdivision of the raceme. 
Flowers small, white, very fragrant. 
Calyx and Corol as in the genus. 
Nectary a notch’d ring surrounds the base of the germ. 
Filaments swelled at the middle, alternately shorter. 
Pistil as in the genus. 
Berry round, red, smooth, size of a small cherry, pulpy. 
Seeds one or two only come to maturity, though the germ has al- 
ways the rudiments of five. 
It is an elegant looking, fragrant shrub, very common on most 
uncultivated lands, but is found chiefly under large trees, where 
birds have dropped the seeds; flowers all the year. 
The whole plant, when drying in the shade, diffuses a pleasant 
permanent scent, which I cannot describe, the flowers are exqui- 
sitely fragrant. 
Birds eat the berries greedily. 
85. LIMONIA ARBOREA. 
Conda Gollunga of the Telingas. 
Leaves alternate, fiv’'d. Leaflets alternate, linear, oblong, serrated, 
smooth, five inches long, and about two broad. 
Panicles terminal, and from the exterior axills. 
The rest as in L. pentaphylla. 
It is a native of the mountainous parts of the Circars, where it 
grows to a middle sized tree, with a large, ramous, shady head. 
The berries of this species are also eaten by birds, and the flowers 
are equally fragrant with those of the last described species; whe- 
ther a difference of soil and situation can produce such difference 
between this and the L. pentaphylla, is doubtful: in their general 
habit they agree ; the saw’d leaves are the chief specific distinction ; 
for the increased size of the plant itself, and the panicles, cannot 
well be deemed characteristic. 
86. LIMONIA CRENULATA. 
Tsjeru-Catu-Naregam. Rheed. mal. 4. p. 31. tab. 14. 
Torellega of the Telingas. 
Leaves on the young shoots, alternate, on the woody ramuli fascicled, 
feather'd with an odd one, three to four inches long. Leaflets
