In Brazil the following varieties of the orange are cultivated. 
Some of them are probably identical with some of those de- 
scribed above. 
1 Larangeira seleta. This variety is obtained by grafting. 
Its rind is thin and smooth. The pulp is very delicious and 
sweet. This is probably the Navel-orange of Bahia, which is 
large and round, and terminated by a small protuberance, hence 
its name. It is considered one of the best oranges in that 
country. ` 
2 Larangeira da China. This variety is very common all 
over Brazil. It is perhaps the common China orange. 
3 Larangeira Tangerina pequena. ‘The rind is very thin 
and smooth. The fruit is small. The pulp is reddish and of a 
very agreeable taste. 
4 Larangeira Tangerina grande. In every respect the same 
as the preceding, but the fruit is much larger. 
5 Larangeira seca. The fruit is sweet but it is not juicy. 
6 Larangeira embeguda. The rind is incomplete and shining; 
it divides into 9 divisions at the top. The taste is very agree- 
able. Itis common at Bahia, but it is also much spread over 
the rest of Brazil. 
The following names of oranges occur in the London nur- 
series; many of them may be the same as those described above.
