a and 6 are Pondicherry lemons, a had concave oil-cells, and b convex cells. They are 

 called " citrons " by the French there. Both had thin skins, and very pale and 

 sour pulp. Their flavour had something of the Kayhzi Nimboo taste in it. The 

 seeds were greenish, when cut. I obtained both iu the market. In the Horticultural 

 Garden of Pondicherry I was shown a plant, said to be that of the " citron." Its 

 leaf is shown at c. It struck me as being more like that of the Turunj. The 

 Eurasian superintendent, however, who had been to Italy, told me that the Pondicherry 

 lemon was exactly like the Italian lemon. The Italian and Malta lemons are one 

 thing. It is not improbable that the French introduced this lemon from Europe. 

 I saw it nowhere else in S. India. 



d and e are the Malta lemon, from the Saharunpur Botanic Garden. 



/ is an unripe one; g and h are its typical leaves; i an abnormal spring leaf; and j the spines, 

 The history of the Saharunpur lemon trees is not known. Mr. Gollam states they 

 are between sixteen and eighteen years old. Probably they were obtained from 

 Lucknow.
