PLATE O X X X 1, 



Ceylon limes, called there Dehi. 



a and 6 are the outlines and section of the lime of Kandy. This has not the papery skin of the 

 Kaghzi nimboo. In India this variety would probably be called Behdri nimboo. It is 

 pale yellow, and studded all over with large and small foveoli. The pulp is pale, like 

 that of a lemon ; juice very sour and abundant, and slightly bitter. Young unexpanded 



leaf buds are tomentose. 



V 



d and e are like the regular lime leaves ; j its spine. 



c is the lime of Colombo ; pale yellow, pitted all over with shallow cavities. Thin skinned, though 

 not quite Kaghzi ; pulp pale greenish ; ten carpels ; juice abundant, of the flavour of 

 Kaghzi; oil-cells of rind distinct; centre solid; seeds white, when cut. 



/, g, h, and i are from a lime tree (?) I found in the Eagkah garden. I found none but an 

 unripe undeveloped fruit, h; flowers tinged purple, four or five petals. Leaves longer 

 than usual, with shape and scent more like those of a lemon. General aspect and 

 spines are those of a lime.
