" Dutch Wilde Pap-Lemoen. 



" This especially is an indigenous tree of these islands, and 

 more common than all the foregoing. It grows taller than 

 they, and has a crooked trunk and irregular and wild-like 

 branches. The small branches, at the leaf stalks, have every- 

 where sharp and hard spines, so that this tree looks more 

 horrid and spinous than all the other species of lemons ; and 

 hence it does not admit of anyone climbing it. The leaves 

 appear as if formed of two leaves, but the inferior cordate 

 part is much smaller than the other superior portion (the 

 leaflet), and is tolerably broad. Both together are about 4 

 or 5 inches long, and there are no leaves without spines. At 

 the edges the leaves are only slightly serrate. Their oil cells 

 are so large that they appear perforated, and the air can be 

 seen through them. 



" The fruit comes up to the size of Lemon Martin, but is not 

 so pyriform, more round, smoother, and of a more solid feel. 

 Here and there it has smooth tubercles, so that it cannot be 

 called altogether spherical, but irregular and oblique. The 

 colour is very yellow and even, and it is not foveolate. The 

 pulp is totally white and juicy, and very sharply acid, so 

 much so, that alone its juice is not used in food, but is mixed 

 with some other juice. The scent of the rind is citrine, but 

 not so grateful as in the foregoing kinds. The wood is solid, 

 hard, and yellowish, resembling box-wood. The roots of 

 old trunks are yellower, and, at the same time, striated. 



" These lemon trees like wild gardens, and their nature is 

 more wild'than that of other lemon trees. The Amboynese 

 exhibit no care in cultivating and pruning them ; nevertheless, 

 they hold them in greater estimation than our nation do, and 

 they are to be found near all their villages. 



" In Latin it is called Limo agrestis, because it loves the 

 fields, and likes wild places more than all other kinds. It is 

 also called Limo pultariiis ; by the Malays, Lemon Papeda ; 

 in Macassar, Paralli ; in Amboyna, Ussi Lapia ; in Ternate, 

 Lemo Jabba, that is, the Amboynese lemon. It is found in 

 almost all the East Indian islands, from Celebes to Amboyna, 

 In Saleyera its fruit is largest and best. Certainly in Java 

 and Baleya it is unknown. 



" The skins of these lemons are in no way used, but the
