The True- Lime Group. 89 



only found in cultivation, and its characters fixed by 

 long association with man. Whether it originally 

 came from the C. medica, or from the C. kystrix, the 

 change has been equally great. The final solution of 

 this interesting problem, however, viz., the origin of 

 the true lime, must now be left to others, if its 

 solution be possible. 



Note. In the Linnean Society's Journal Botany 

 vol. xxii., will be found a paper on the " Probable 

 wild source of the whole Group of Cultivated True 

 Limes" (read on 4th February, 1886). That paper, 

 however, contains the mistake, then undetected, to 

 which I, alluded on p. 83, viz., that in the Explicatio 

 of Rumphius the figs, were transposed. 

 Pis. 225 to 233 give figures of this group.
