PLATE X L V I I. 



Malta egg-oranges from Etawah. 



a and c. Exterior chagrined with foveoli, and intermediate miliary elevations. A larger specimen, 

 of which e is a section, was more chagrined, and its pinholes more decided. It had 

 not only deep foveoli, but other less deep foveoli between them, and between these 

 again there were miliary convexities. The oil-cells of c and e, are rather exaggerated 

 to show clearly the three sizes of oil-cells, to which the foveoli and miliary eminences 

 correspond. 



b and d show a smaller and smoother egg-orange, with a thin skin, the foveoli being distinct 

 only at the base amd apex. The colour of the pulp of all is of a pale orange ; 

 abundant and sub-acid juice. These specimens had only from four to seven seeds. 

 Usually the egg-orange in Europe is seedless, and corresponds to the orange sans 

 pepins of Risso ; but in India it is often full of seeds. 



/ and g are spring leaves; the latter shows the wing of the petiole continuous with the blade 

 of the leaflet on one side. This is normal in some of the citrons, and occurs 

 often in some pummelos. h and i are also spring leaves.
