PLATE LXXXV, 



Leaves of a citrus I obtained at Kandy, Ceylon. 



These leaves were taken from a young tree which had no fruit. They had all the 

 characters of pummelo leaves. 



a resembled the fully-developed leaves of the Kandy Jambole. The stems and leaves were 

 quite glabrous, excepting the minute vnexpanded leaf buds, which were decidedly 

 tomentose. The large young leaves had only a few hairs on their edges, while in 

 the tomentose forms the hairs were persistent on the edges even on the old leaves. 



c is one of the spines I found on this tree. From its appearance the tree, I should say, was 

 a seedling about three years old. If so, that would account for such a large spine. 

 I have always found that seedlings of most citrus have more formidable spines than 

 budded plants. These leaves had a faint lemon scent. Not having seen their fruit, 

 I cannot say whether they were really pummelo trees.
