PLATE Gil. 



a and b is the Nagpore orange, grown in Nagpore, and which I purchased at one of the 

 railway stations in the Central Provinces. The skin is thin ; pulp, deep orange, 

 deeper coloured than the rind ; juice very abundant, and of a pleasant flavour ; rind 

 loosely adhering, the white tissue of the skin being very scanty. Surface smooth, 

 only foveolate round the base and apex. All Nagpore oranges are neither so smooth nor 

 so regular in form as this. The mammilla at the base is rather typical of one of the 

 Nagpore varieties. I saw some with the mammilla so flattened that it was practically 

 obliterated ; others were oblate at both base and apex. One had an areola, or 

 remains of a mammilla on the apex. The Nagpore orange is one of the best 

 Suntaras of India. 



c and d is the Nagpore orange, grown in Etawah. It has the Suntara colour, with abundant 

 juice, a very pleasant mixture of sub-acid and sweet. When ripe the rind is aromatic, 

 not bitter, loosely attached to the pulp ; centre hollow ; seeds greenish, when cut ; e 

 and / are its rain leaves ; g and h its spring leaves. Usually the Nagpore orange 

 tree has no spines, but i shows what it can sometimes produce.
