PLATE GI. 



a and 6 is the Konda-ndrun of Kandy, Ceylon; mostly pyriform, chagrined, and foveolate, 

 more so round hoth base and apex ; oil-cells of rind distinct ; pulp, deep orange, 

 and well flavoured; seeds green, when cut. This was an unripe specimen. Its centre 

 was filled with a cottony fihre, which probahly disappears when the fruit ripens; 

 although the exterior was green the larger oil-cells of the rind were already turning 

 orange. 



c is its rain leaf; d and e its spring leaves. 



/, g, h, and i are other specimens of the same Konda-ndrun. 



j is the section of t. This Konda-ndrun of Ceylon appears to me to be identical with the 

 Nagpore orange, or merely a variety of it. 



There is a notion in Ceylon that this orange never gets coloured, and they 

 consequently look upon it as a green orange. Indeed, it is not possible to obtain 

 an orange one at the market. It is sufficiently well Savoured in its green state in 

 December. However, I purchased some on the llth December, and took them with 

 me to Etawah, which I reached on the 1st January. Most of them, by that 

 time, had turned of a yellow-orange. Probably this is a variety which, even in 

 Ceylon, colours late. It is well flavoured when fully ripe, and travels well. 



NOTE. Bumphius, in his chapter on " Aur. Sinenee," mentions a green orange, which, 

 if left on the tree till it becomes orange, is worthless.
