PLATE C X I X 



a and b is a globose Mandarin orange from Lucknow, with a close but loose skin ; bright 

 orange, smooth, and simply foveolate; pulp orange, paler than the rind, with a special 

 aroma. The pulp is dry; the centre hollow and small. 



c is a rain leaf; d and e spring leaves. The petioles are linear and without wings. The 

 scent of the leaves reflects somewhat that of the rind, but it is a sui generis scent, 

 and allied to that of Keonla leaves. 



In a suitable climate and soil the flavour of the Mandarin orange pulp is exquisite, 

 and the juice abundant. 



/ and g was obtained from Auraya, unripe in September. It is what natives call Nardngi; 

 loose-skinned and about the size of a Keonla orange, but said to be sweeter. The 

 glandular portion of the rind is thick, and the white portion thin ; pulp, in its 

 unripe state, is pale orange-yellow and sour; seeds numerous, and conspicuously green, 

 when cut.
