Mela Janurea, of the Ionian Islands. 



Fruit large, broad and flat ; about three inches and a half 

 in diameter, and three inches deep. Eye rather open, with 

 a short calyx, in a tolerable cavity, surrounded with promi- 

 nent ribs, which pass halfway down the sides to the base. 

 Stalk short, in a wide spreading cavity. Sfcwrich, greenish 

 yellow, tinged slightly with brown on the sunny side. Flesh 

 yellowish white, firm, juicy, with a high, brisk, sub-acid fla- 

 vour. An excellent dessert fruit in December, and keeps 

 well till March. 



Mr. Hooker observes, in the Horticultural Transactions, 

 Vol. ii. p. 299. that the Canadian Reinette is frequently sold 

 in the shops in London for the Newtown Pippin. It varies 

 very much in figure, in consequence of which several varie- 

 ties have been formed out of one. The fruit from late blos- 

 soms is much less angular than those from early ones, in 

 which the ribs are very distinctly marked ; hence the Rein- 

 ette de Canada a Cotes.
