PLATE CLXXXV 



Variety of the Malta lemon, received from Mr. C. Nickels, Passewa Factory, Jaunpore. 



a and b show the shape of this lemon, with a pale yellow exterior, pitted with deep and 

 shallow foveoli, with whitish dots between them. The aroma of the rind did not 

 appear to me so fine as that of the Lucknow lemon. 



b is the section of a. The pulp is pale, and pore acid, with abundant juice of a fine flavour, 



d is a rain leaf ; e and / spring leaves ; g a spine. The only difference I could see in this 

 lemon from that of Lucknow was that it had its mammilla a little to the one side, 

 and its leaves perhaps more mucronate or pointed. 



Mr. Nickels says that in 1872 he brought out from England some blood orange 

 trees. The stock on which one was budded gave out a shoot. Thinking that in 

 England they budded on the lemon stock, he removed the shoot, and struck it 

 under glass. It gave the fruit shown. It may, perhaps, be of some use to 

 distinguish this variety as the English or Jaunpore lemon.
