Forms of true limes, found in Calcutta and Bombay. 

 a is the China pdti, or so-called China form in Bengal. 



6, c, d, e, are the spring leaves which came with it. / its spine. Exterior smooth, pitted with 

 concave cells ; in parts they are convex. The section showed nothing new ; the skin 

 very thin; juice abundant, with & pronounced Kaghzi flavour. 



The words chin ka, like pakdri, and belaiti, are often given to plants in contra- 

 distinction to desi, or common kinds. Whether, in this case, this variety had a 

 Chinese origin, or not, I do not know. 



g, h, t, and j is the Desi pdti of Calcutta, or the common Kaghzi nimboo. Pulp like that of 

 other Kaghzi nimboo. The leaves and the spines k came with this specimen. 



I, TO, and n I purchased in the Bombay market. I was told that I was the China Kaghzi ; m the 

 Kaghzi of Nassick ; and n the Kaghzi of Poona. I had a sour pulp, with a slightly pale 

 orange tinge; its flavour was different from the ordinary Kaghzi. The other two had 

 the true lime flavour. All were pale yellow and thin skinned. I did not see the leaves 

 of any of these Bombay limes. It is doubtful whether I is a true lime. It. may be 

 something like the udo dehi of Ceylon, a variety of sour orange. (Vide Plate
