CITRUS 9. Fruflu fpharico-ovato minori y cortice czquali vejiculato pallidi

The Forbidden Fruit, or fmaller Shaddock Tree. 



Thefe two laft fpeeies grow to a more confiderable fize than any of the others, 

 and are now cultivated in moft parts of the country j particularly on the fouth fide, 



where they are obferved to thrive beft. The fruit of both fpeeies is agreeable to 



moft palates, and of a 



plea fan t grateful 



flavour -, but the laft excels in fweetnefs, 



while the other partakes a little of the bitter, which recommends it to moil 



people. 



The feeds of all the fpeeies have a bitterifh, but pleafant tafte; and doubtlefs 

 would make very good emulfions, which may be ufed with great fuccefs, when 

 the ftomach is weak or languid, and cannot bear the ftronger bitters: nor is it im- 

 probable but they may prove an excellent mixture with milk, in confumptive cafes. 

 They are very fuccefsfully adminiftered in dry belly-aches and convulfive fpafms; 

 and one of the moft effectual medicines that can be ufed to reftore weakly limbs to 

 their former vigour : but it mould be continued for a confiderable time ; aided by 

 regularity, and other affiftantsj and ufed before the parts are emaciated. 



Obf. I do not apprehend that any of thofe, except the fecond, fifth, and ninth, 



can be coniidered as variations j for they generally retain the fame appear- 

 ances and fpecific characters, even in the wild ftate.
