juice, but for this it is not suited, as its sharpness wears away 

 the skin, especially if the sun shine upon it, and then the roots 

 of the hairs become loosened and are destroyed. The fresh 

 skin is also cooked with the gravy of meats, and it can also 

 be preserved in sugar as well as that of Lemon Martin, but 

 this is rarely done." ( Vide pi. 226, fig. a.} 



(Nota bene. In tab. 26 of Rumphius's book there are three 

 figures. Burmann, in the explanation of this plate, states 

 that fig. 3 (pi. 227, fig. a of my Atlas) is Lima ferus. Now 

 its foliage does not agree with that of Lima ferns (pi. 226, 

 fig. c of Atlas), but is identical with that of No. i Limo 

 ventricosus, Lemon Purrut. I look upon it as a smooth 

 fruit form of the latter. ( Vide pi. 27, figs, a and b.) These 

 are a smooth and a warty form of the khatta orange of 

 India both taken by myself from the same branch of the 

 same tree in Benares. The smooth form is the regular crop, 

 and the warty is the Dtimrez crop. As fig. I and fig. 3 of 

 tab. 26 of Rumphius' vol. ii., have identical foliage, it is 

 more reasonable to look upon them as the smooth and warty 

 form of the same Limo ventricosus, lemon Purrut, especially 

 as the foliage of both differs much from that of Limo ferus. 

 Variations in the exterior of many Citrus are very common.)

" The third species of warty lemons is Limo curamas, which 

 has smaller leaves than the preceding (Lemon Purrut) ; 

 otherwise they are similar, and especially with regard to 

 their being made up of two pieces. They almost resemble 

 those of Limo Maas, but their cordate part is larger. The 

 fruit, however, is like that of Limo Martin, both as regards 

 size and shape. This also is so irregularly round and shape- 

 less, covered over with tubercles and fissures, as to prevent 

 any decided form being assigned to it. Many, however, are 

 longer than broad, and contracted round the stalk. Many 

 have a dark green colour, inelegant, or from dark become 

 green ; at length, however, in some, yellowish spots appear. 

 They afterwards become rugose, and on all sides covered with 

 tubercles, but these are not so pronounced as in Lemon Purrut. 



" The pulp is white and dry, consisting of many granules, 

 like pedicles ; nor is it so juicy as Lemon Martin, and, if
