This is the interesting Butwal orange of Nepal sent by Major Buller from 

 Gonda. It is the sweetest orange I have seen in India. Butwal is a Nepalese 

 place near the borders of British India, and north of Goruckpore. Its proper 

 name is Suntoiah or Santowrea orange. It is the colour of the Suntara orange, 

 smooth and slightly foveolate ; many seeded ; but in some the seeds are empty. 

 Skin, thin and closely fitting, but easily peeled off; pulp, deep orange, sweeter 

 than any other kinds of Suntara when fully ripe, only very slightly mixed with 

 sub-acid. Seeds green, when cut; centre hollow. / is the section of k. 



i and j is a flat specimen, which came with the others ; d is a rain leaf of the Butwal 

 orange; e, f, and g are spring leaves. 



h are the spines which came with them. 



This is evidently a variety of the Suntara orange. It grows in a semi-wild 



state in Butwal, and appears to get no cultivation whatever. Externally some are 



more or less rough, and more or less foveolate, especially round the base and 

 apex.
