Oil of limes, derived from the rind of C. Limetta, is obtained — 
_ ™ a‘similar manner to oil of lemons, which it somewhat ~

i 
_ Orange peel oil, the essence or oil of Portugal of commerce, ; 
: is also obtained in a similar manner. Wright has isolated from 
the oil a terpene Hesperidene. (J. Chem. Soc., 1873, p. 549.) 
ae From the flowers of different varieties of the Orange, oil of 
Orange flowers is obtained. Genuine orange flower. oil, the 
Oleum Neroli of pharmacy, is obtained by the maceration ‘or 
absorption process from the flowers of the sweet or bitter 
mentioned methods. Thus C. Aurantium yields oil of nerolt 
the flowers of C. bigaradia, or Seville orange, néroli bigarade 
while the leaves and young unripe fruit of different varieties 
ie ee Citrus yield néroli petit grain. (Brannt.) “ pee 
Orange flower water is used in pharmacy, and a tea ma 
from orange flowers is much used in French domestic medi in 
_ Commerce.—The various species of Citrus are cultiv 
in most parts of India. The kinds usually met with are. 
Several varieties of Mandarin orange; the common swee 
range ; several varieties of sour lime; the sweet lime; the 
- “tron; and a fruit which appears to be a cross between the 
_ Sour lime and orange. Besides these we have the Sha 
or Pummelo in abundance, and occasionally sweet citr 
‘from the Persian Gulf, and sweet oranges from Sue 
_ Zanzibar. Sour limes in a dried state are exported to A
