PLATE CCXLV. 



c, 6, and c are the compound leaves of the Limonia acidissima, which I got at the Sahannpore 

 Botanic Garden. 



The tree has the hahit of the Feronia. The leaflets are dotted, with large and 

 small oil-cells. Their scent is almost nil, perhaps it distinctly recalls that of the 

 leaves of Feronia elephantwn. The petioles are pubescent. At the angles of the 

 crenations there are large oil-cells, with smaller ones between them. The leaves of 

 this Limonia might perhaps be taken to consist of a chain of winged petioles, one 

 budding out of the tip of the other, with a pair of opposite ride-buds proliferating from 

 the same node, and ending in the odd leaflet, when the power of proliferation had been 

 exhausted. 



d is the Limonia fruit of the natural size. When ripe, it is purple-black. The rind is studded 

 with oil-cells, and slightly aromatic, and bitterish, but not citrine. The pulp is slightly 

 acid and bitter ; I did not find it very acid, as its name would denote. It had one seed 

 of the size of a Sorghum-seed. 



e is its spine, with a bud at its base. 



/ and g are only diagrams, in connection with what I said in the Chapter on Morphology, and 

 intended to illustrate a supposed branching of the Phyllanthus one of the Cactaeeee.
