202 EUTACEAE. 



Citrus Aurantium L., Sweet Orange, Asiatic, Tvas formerly extensively 

 planted. It has entire leaflets with narrowly winged or merely margined 

 petioles and a globose orange yellow fruit with a separable rind and sweet 

 pulp. The home supply of oranges does not nearly meet the demand for 

 them, scale-insects being destructive. 



Citrus Lima Lunan, Lime, Asiatic, is commonly planted. Its toothed 

 leaflets have wingless and marginless petioles, and the small acid fruit is 

 globose or oblong with a very thin rind. The tree has become almost natural- 

 ized locally. [Citrus Limetta Risso.] 



Citrus Medica L., Citeon, Asiatic, is also planted. Its entire leaflets have 

 wingless and marginless petioles; the large fruit has a very thick rind^ used 

 for flavoring and for preserves. 



Citrus decumana L., Grape-fruit, Pomelo, Shaddock, East Indian, 

 planted for its large, acid fruit, has hairy twigs and pedicels, broadly winged 

 petioles, and fruit up to 7' in diameter, globular or nearly so. There are 

 many varieties or races, the Forbidden Fruit being one of them, its fruit 

 smaller. Lefroy uses the name Citrus racemosus for the Grape-fruit. 



Citrus nobilis Lour., Mandarin Orange, Chinese, has occasionally been 

 planted; it has lanceolate, slightly erenate leaflets, the petioles little winged, 

 and its fruit is more or less compressed, 2-2^' broad, the rind readily separable 

 from the sweet pulp. 



Triphasia trifolia (Burm. f.) P. Wilson, Bergamot Lime, of tropical 

 Asia, frequent in gardens, is a spiny shrub about 6° high, its short-petioled 

 leaves mostly trifoliolate, the erenate leaflets IV long or less, its fragrant 

 white flowers about 1' broad, in cymes or solitary, its fruit a red, few-seeded 

 oval berry about V long. [Limonia trifolia Burm. f . ; T. Aurantiola Lour. ; 

 Limonia crenulata of Jones.] 



Chalcas exotica (L.) Millsp., Martinique Laurel, Asiatic, a shrub with 

 small pinnate dark green leaves of about 5 entire leaflets, small white corymbose 

 fragrant flowers with five petals and ten stamens, the fruit a small berry, is 

 commonly planted for ornament. [Murraya exotica L.] 



Ruta graveolens L., Garden Rue, European, occasional in gardens, is an 

 odorous herb l°-3° high, with biternately divided, glandular-punctate leaves, 

 and small yellowish flowers in terminal panicled cymes, the sepals and petals 

 4 or 5, the fruit 4-lobed or 5-lobed capsules about 5" broad. 



Clausena excavata Burm., Wampee, East Indian, a tree, with pinnate, 

 pubescent leaves of 15-30 ovate, oblique leaflets, small panicled 4-parted 

 flowers, the berry-like, oblong fruit about 8" long, is recorded by Lefroy and 

 by Reade as seen by them in a few gardens. [CooJcia punctata Retz.] 



Chloroxylon Chloroxylon (Eoxb.) Britton, Satinwood, East Indian, a 

 tree with pinnate leaves 7'-10' long, of 11-21 small short-stalked, obliquely 

 oblong entire punctate leaflets, and small pedicelled flowers in large terminal 

 clusters, the fruit oblong large capsules, is recorded by Lefroy as introduced 

 at Mt. Langton. [Siuietenia Chloroxylon Roxb. ; Chloroxylon Sivietenia DC] 



Glycosmis pentaphylla (Retz.) DC, Glycosmis, East Indian, a shrub 

 4°-9° high with thin 1-3-foliolate oblong-lanceolate to ovate leaves 3 J '-8' 

 long, small white axillary flowers in short panicles, the petals 4 or 5, the 

 stamens 8 or 10, the berries whitish or pink, about 5" in diameter, is grown 

 in a few gardens. [Li^nonia pentaphylla Retz.; G. citrifolia Lindl.] 



Spathelia simplex L., Pride-of-the-Mountain, Jamaican, is a remarkable 

 tree with slender unbranched trunk up to 50° high scarred by the bases of
