PLATE L X X I I. 



This is a pyriform pummelo, which I purchased at the Sohagpur station, G-.I.P. Ky. 



a and b show its outline and section. It was lemon-yellow, smooth, and tinged with red in many 

 places. It was closely dotted all over with oil-cells of irregular shape and of various 

 sizes. The centre was solid, with a ring of vessels as shown at A of section b. The 

 pulp was red round the circumference, and pale towards the centre. It had many 

 seeds. (Note the elongated centre, and see Chapter on " Morphology.") 



c shows the disposition of the juice vesicles in the carpels, as shown in a cross section. They 

 were short excepting towards the centre of the fruit. Many were like enlarged oil-cells ; 

 pear shaped. The attachments were not only on the circumference part of the carpel, 

 as is usual with many citrus, but also on the sides, as far as B B. The vesicles 

 projected into the middle of the carpel ; but at B B they projected towards the centre 

 of the fruit, and were much longer. Some of the juice-vesicles were pedicelled, but 

 the majority were sessile. (See Appendix No. 62,) 



NOTE. The elongated centre A gives an impression of this fruit having originally come 

 from the fusion of two ovaries. (Vide Plates CCXXIII. and CCXXIV.)
