88 BOTANY or THE VOYAGE OF H.M.S. HEK\LD. 
101. Citrus sp.^Nomen vernacul. "Cidro." Cultivated. 
This plant comes close to O. Deeumana, of which it maj be a mere Tarietj ; but it attains the size of a 
tree, aud has wingless petioles, while C. Becumana, Linn. — or at least the plant I consider as sucli— always 
remains a mere shrub, and has winged petioles. 
All tlio foregoing species of Citrus have been introduced by the Spaniards. Thej" are now cultivated 
all over the country, thrive exceedingly well, and some, especially the common Lime-tree, have become 
quite wild.

^ A half-shrubby plant, about 1 foot high, at first sight resembhng some of the Gnidias, which is chiefly 
owing to the pale yellow flowers being terminal and half-concealed among the foliage. The leaves are from 
4 to 6 lines long, and about a line broad ; the corolla is hardly more than two inches across.

The fruit of this plant is still unknown ; my specimens are in flower only. I found this species also 
in the Bay of Choco, and Barclay at Tumaco and San Pedro.

A shrub, growing parasltically upon trees ; leaves from 5 to 6 inches long, from 2| to 3 inches broad ; 
flowers, just before opening, about as large as a good-sized pea.

grande." In savanas, about the city of Panama and the town of Nata. 
This species growa at first parasltically upon other trees, but after it has killed the plant to which it 
was mdubted for its nourishment, it becomes terrestrial, and then attains a height of about 60 feet. The 
large parchment-Hke leaves are used by the country-people for writing upon, by means of a pencil or a
