PLATE CXO. 



Mitha mmboo, or sweei lemons; also called Sherbetet ntmboo and AmritphdL 



a is the sweet lemon of Mooltan ; pale yellow and smooth,^ the furrows being tinged with red. 

 The specimen was rather dry. The skin was very thin, as shown in section b. 

 The juice was abundant, and of a nicer flavour than other sweet lemons I have 

 tried. Probably the dryness of the Mooltan climate may have influenced its flavour. 



c is an abnormal rain leaf: / an abnormal spring leaf; d ud e typical spring leaves. The 

 leaves have a slender petiole, Without a trace of wings or margins, which are re- 

 presented by two minute ridges on the upper part. The very youngest leaf-buds 

 have a little down. There were no spines on the branch sent. 



g and h is a sweet lemon from Khoorja. On the apex the oil-cells are concave, hi other 



places quite plane. It floats in water, but not well ; it first sinks and then rises 



slowly to the surface. 

 t are abnormal spring leaves, and the only ones that came with it. It is curious that from 



Khoorja I received both small Sherbetee and also small Kddn Kaghzi lemons. This, 



however, might be a small specimen of an ordinary tree.
