PLATE V. 



The Lucknow Seville Orange, the Ndranj of the Lucknow nurserymen, 



a and b are the outline and section of the ndranj of Lucknow. The exterior is dark orange, 

 quite smooth and polished. It resembles a cooking apple, or small musk melon. 

 The pulp-vesicles are coarse, and of an orange-yellow colour. The juice is sour 

 and bitter (?) ; the rind very aromatic and distinctly bitter. Possibly, I may have 

 carelessly tasted the pulp, and may have got some of the rind bitter into my 

 mouth, which may have become mixed up with the juice. 



c and d are rain leaves, and c and / spring leaves, all with the characteristic scent of the 

 Sevilles. It is strange that of all the Sevilles I have seen in India, this Lucknow 

 variety is the only one which has the native name of Ndranj, the Arabic synonym 

 which Risso gives to the Seville Orange.
