used in a drink called Bcerepons, for preparing which it is 

 better than that of other lemons, because less acid and does 

 not cause griping. The peel of this lemon, moreover, con- 

 tains an aromatic spirit (the essential oil) ; however, on land it 

 is seldom used, except when cooked with fish or meat, the 

 flavour of which it improves. This lemon is also used for 

 washing the head, but mostly for want of other kinds. Its 

 raw pulp, eaten with sugar, loosens and expels the phlegm, 

 which gathers in the lungs, and which often causes an op- 

 pressive asthma and a convulsive cough. 



" Again, this tree does not grow to a great age, unless it be 

 carefully pruned and cultivated. It easily engenders certain 

 larvae and then exudes a lot of sap and copious gum, after 

 which it wastes away and perishes. It sometimes happens 

 that half the trunk and a portion of the head dies. The 

 other half then, to some extent, gives meagre fruit." ( Vide 

 pi. 129, fig. a.) 



(Nota bene. In the original, either Rumphius or his editor, 

 Burmann, must have made some mistake, as in the "expli- 

 catio " of tab. 26, fig. I is called Limo tuberosus, but the above 

 description evidently refers to fig. 2 (called in the explanation 

 Limo ventricosus), so in the plates of my Atlas No. 129 

 fig. a is the one with which the description of Limo tuberosus 

 Martenicus tallies. E. B.)

" Lemon Purrut. Besides the Lemon Martin above de- 

 scribed there are other warty species, as we shall presently 

 describe, of which first is Limo ventricosus (fig. I, tab. 26),* 

 called Lemon Purrut by the Malays. The tree of this grows 

 to the size of the foregoing, but has a thicker and narrower 

 head ; it has also many erect branches. In foliage, however, 

 it differs much from the foregoing (Lemon Martin, fig. 2). Its 

 leaves are about 4 inches long, and the inferior part is so cor- 

 date and large as to constitute almost half of the whole leaf, 

 and so erect as to seem two leaves one placed over the otherf 



* In Rumph. it is fig. 2. 



f The reader is requested to note this, and compare it with figs, d 

 and e, pi. 225 of my Atlas ; and also with the leaf of C. hystrix, de- 

 scribed in Kurz's Flor. of Br. Burma. By inferior or cordate part, 

 Rumphius means the winged petiole.
