PLATE L X X X I. 



Section of the foregoing huge pummelo given on Plate LXXX. 



The pithy part of the thick skin is of the consistence of sponge cake, and has a pink 



blush. 



The pulp is of a crimson pink, and hollow in the centre. The parts A A are the 

 central column split up by the expansion of the fruit, and left adherent to the carpels. They are 

 joined together by threads as shown in the centre. 



The seeds are very numerous, and the carpels contorted in various ways, each having a very 

 distinct emargination on its circumference side C C. In all other kinds these indentations were 

 not so marked. The juice-vesicles are coarse, and their disposition shown at B. Taken singly, 

 they are of a pale rose colour. The juice is an agreeable mixture of sweet, sub-acid, and just 

 enough bitter to give it piquancy.
