(b) Citrus Medica, variety limonum, the Jamburi. The first of 

 this variety has a wrinkled and somewhat loose skin, and the pulp is 

 exceedingly acid The plint is only used aa a stoos. in which to bud 

 oranges. There are, however, many sab-varieties of Jamburi into 

 which, however, we need not euter. 



(c) Citrus bfe>ii"a, variety limetta. the true Sweet Lime (Sakhar 

 Limb*). The frqit of this tree has a sweetish taste at all stages, like 

 sugar and water. The tree is yellowish in appearance. It is rarely 

 cultivated in gardens and is of little practical importance. 



(d) Oitrus Hftdica, variety arida, the Sour Lime (Kigdi hmbu). 

 This tree has small leaves and Sinall round fruits which are largely 

 used for pickles and drinks. Chore is considerable cultivation of this 

 tree all over the Bombay Presidency. Two sab varieties are found. The 

 first of these is thick-skinned and is termed Godhadi: the other is 

 thin skinned and is the true Ka/di limbu. The former is specially 

 suited for making pickles. , A. third variety is sometimes met with in 

 the Sholapar District, called P<it liinbu, with a long and thin skinned 

 fruit. 



Oitrus Aurantium. The orange occurs in two main types which are 

 distinguished by the a Iherenco of the skin to the pulp. In the Santra 

 group, the skin is quite loosa, aai ha? a boaatiful golden yelow colour ; 

 in the Mosambi group, the skia is tightly attached to the pulp. The 

 following are the principal sub varieties cultivated in the Bombay 

 Presidency : 



1. Loose-skinned, varieties. 



(a) Santra. This is the most popular of all the citrus fruits, 

 is easily recognised by the loose skin and beautiful golden colour 

 and globose shape. The flavour is agreeably sweet, yet acid. The 

 shape of the tree is 'thai; of an inverted cone. Its leaves are small 

 and bright green. This sub- variety is largely cultivated in the 

 Poona, Ahmednagar and Khandesh Districts. 



(6) Ladoo. The fruit of this tree is inferior ia flavour to 

 Santra. It is flattened on the top (the stigma end), and some- 

 what drawn out at the stalk end. The colour of the skin is deep 

 orange. A miniature fruit, with about six carpels, is often 

 found within the fruit at the stigma end. The juice is sweet, 

 and the fruit is often almost seedless. The shape of the oro wn 

 of the tree is rounded, the branches short, numerous and compact, 

 and the leaves small. This type is only O3oasioaally seen in Santra 

 gardens. 



(c) Kawla. This is a very inferior orange. The colour 

 of the skin is more attractive than that of Ladoo, but the pulp is 

 much inferior in quality. The frait is characterised by a circular 

 ring near the apex. Its juice is scanty and the seeds are many. 

 The tree is tall and the leaves look crumpled and pale yellow, as if 

 the tree badly needed water. 



This tree is rarely seen in orange gardens. 



(d) Rcshmi Naring. The fruit of this variety is small and 

 worthless containing many seeds, while the juice is very scanty, 

 The tree is large and very prolific. 



It is. however, rarely seen in gardens.
