PLATE L I X 



The drawings of this plate are taken from the Flora amboyn. of Eumphius. 



a and b are the Aurantium pompelmoes (Cassomba of the Malays), of Tab. xxiv. fig. 2, vol. ii. 

 of Eumphius. If I have read him rightly, he says that fig. B denotes the natural 

 shape (no spines in his drawing). He describes four kinds, one of which is irregular 

 and tubercled. He says there are both red and white pulped pompelmoes. 



Loureiro at p. 467, under the head of Citrus decumana, says : " Spinous, glabrous, 

 petioles large, with cordate wings, pulp red or white, sweet or acid; very thick skin. 

 A variety is very sweet, and with a white pulp and yellow exterior." 



a shows a spineless branch, with entire leaves, of the' Pummelo. 



c and d are taken from Tab. xxxv. vol. u\ of Eumphius. They represent the Aurantium dulcis 

 verrucosum, with a perfectly round fruit, A representing warts. The branch has crenate 

 leaves, with email petiole wings, and small spines. 



e represents a bunch of this fruit. 



Miguel, in his Flor. Ind. Batav., places thip Aurantiam of Eumphius as "Citrus decumana, 

 var. verrucosa" (?). 



NOTE. c, d, and e should, I think, have been placed with the Portugal orange group.
