water. This, however, is chiefly done with the clothes of 

 royal people, because, when these are so washed, they both 

 better absorb and retain the odour of Musk and Zibeth, and 

 similar odours." 



Observation. 



It may be also noted that Lemon Papeda and Lemon Carbou, 

 or Lima Bubalinus " a Valent. in Amboinae descript, pag. 

 189" are also mentioned. (Vide pi. 226, fig. b of Atlas.)

" Lemon swangy. 



" Dutch Wilde Lemoen Boom. 



" This species of lemon is also indigenous, or Indian, and of 

 a wild nature. The tree is not very thick, and smaller com- 

 pared with the others. Its head is small and its branches 

 are straight. The leaves are like those of Limo Papeda^ but 

 rather longer and more acute ; about six inches long and 

 more ; the anterior part slightly serrated. In its middle, 

 however, between the cordate and superior part of the leaf 

 there is a bend, and the leaves are slightly inflexed. The 

 fruit is smaller than that of all preceding ones, similar to 

 the Spanish lemon, but smaller and tapering at both ends. 

 Some are pyriform ; others are like the larger plums, oviform, 

 everywhere covered with warts ; , dark green and slowly 

 becoming yellowish, which colour is mostly observed in those 

 which grow near buildings and are there cultivated. The 

 pulp is small and granular, but juicy and very acid, producing 

 griping. The scent is not unpleasant, citrine, but feeble, and 

 mostly wild-like. The branches also bear long spines, but 

 small ones on the twigs, near the leaves. 



" In Latin it is called Limo ferus ; in Malay Limoen Swangi, 

 from its irregular and deformed shape. The Malays, how- 

 ever, give the name of Sivangi to such things as belong to 

 the forest, are wild, and of irregular form, such as are mostly 

 magicians and chiefs, whom they properly call Swangi. In 

 Amboyna it is called Usse Malumeit, and Aussi Wolu. In 

 Ternate, however, Limo Titigda. 



" In Amboyna it is mostly found in out of the way village 

 gardens, and near their buildings.
