PLATE LXXXII. 



Leaves of pummelos, in the Etawah Public Garden. 



a is a well-developed rain leaf of the foregoing large pummelo given on Plate LXXX. The 

 shoots of this tree and leaves are quite glabrous, so are the shoots and leaves of 

 six other trees, which bear similar oblate fruit, but smaller. Their leaves are 

 entire, with only an occasional indentation ; nevertheless, on their edges, at stated 

 distances, there are the remains of oil-glands, as if the leaves had been crenated. 

 (Vide Chapter on " Morphology.") 



These leaves are leathery, tough, and shiny ; their scent is nil. The oil-cells 

 of this blade appear to be all small, distantly situated, and almost indistinct, on 

 account of the thickness of the leaf. 



c is the leaf of a fully pubescent variety, with somewhat pyriform fruit, called Mahtabi by the 

 gardener. Its leaves are crenate, ovo -lanceolate, and of a duller and less shiny 

 green than a. The petiole wings are smaller, and the oil-cells distinct. 



b is an intermediate form, has a good deal of pubescence on young leaves and very young 

 stem ; less on older leaves and older stems, and none on the oldest leaves. The 

 fully-developed but young leaves have a few scattered hairs here and there.
