PLATE LXXX 



Large oblate pummelo, called " Chak6tra," from the Public Garden of Etawah. 



a shows its outline, not unlike that of a gourd. When unripe, it is of a pale green, and when 

 ripe, of a dull lemon-yellow. Its surface does not shine. It has large oil-glands at 

 regular distances as shown at A, interspersed with innumerable small ones. This is 

 the largest pummelo I have seen. 



N.B. The Bombay thin-skinned red pummelo is smaller than the above and more globose, 

 with convex oil-cells of various sizes. The specimen I examined had a girth cf 22 inches. The 

 thickness of its skin varied from J to J inch. Its pulp was of the colour of raw beef, and very 

 juicy, and of a pleasant sub-acid, sui generis flavour, mixed with sweetness, and the merest 

 soupfori of bitterness. The seeds when cut were white. It was by far the finest variety of 

 pummelo I have yet seen, with an aromatic rind.
