118 BOTANY, 



BULLOCK S HEART. 



Of the same genus as the custard apple is the bullock's 

 heart, which I have occasionally found in native gardens. 

 Anona reticulata. 



UVARIA FRUIT. 



This fruit has the taste and appearance of the North 

 America paw paw, and they are members of the same natural 

 family. It is the produce of a scandent shrub abounding 

 in the jungles. 



Uvaria grandiflora!

ORANGE. 



Oranges are quite abundant, but for the want of proper 

 attention they are much inferior to the West India or- 

 anges, and to those cultivated in the South of Europe. 

 The trees are often exceedingly prolific. A seedling that 

 I planted, produced in the ninth year more than two thou- 

 sand oranges. 



Citrus aurantium.

SWEET LIME*. 



A considerable proportion of the fruit sold for oranges 

 are sweet limes. Dr. Pickering of the American Explor- 

 ing Expedition, remarks : " I did not meet with the true 

 orange, either in Hindostan or the East Indies." The 

 tree may be often distinguished by its leaf which is usually 

 slightly winged, and smaller than the orange. 

 Citrus timet t a. 



SHADDOCK. 



The shaddock or pumplemuss may be often procured 

 in market, but the fruit is decidedly inferior to the Bengal 

 pumplemuss. 



Citrus decumana.
