PLATE CLXXXVIII 



This is what is called the Kumaon lemon, or lime. It was sent by Mr. John Martin, 

 proprietor of Douglas Dale, Nynee Tal. 



a is its shape, like a very large Malta lemon, and not unlike the Meetha mmboo of the 

 foregoing plate. The exterior is lemon-yellow, with a rough surface. The large 

 oil-cells are depressed, and the intermediate small ones are like pinholes. It is 

 slightly sub-warty round the apex. 



b is its section, with thick skin ; oil-cells distinct ; pithy part white and sweetish ; the rind 

 has not the fine aroma of the Malta lemon. Pulp transparent, and of a faint 

 orange-yellow; sour, but not the pure sourness of the Malta lemon; juice very 

 abundant; centre hollow; seeds white, when cut. This appears to be a true lemon 

 of the Gulgul type. 



e is a rain leaf, and d a spine; e is a bit of the rind, with the pith shaved off, showing 

 sections of the oil-cells of three sizes. The young leaves are bronze-coloured, and 

 the blossoms bronze-reddish-brown.
