colour; size ofan orange.—iirds seem to-he fond of the seeds, as the fruit 
_ may frequently be seen halfeaten,—At Mahableshwer and along the Ghauts;

burgh’s Trichosanthes palmata; the true Modecca of Rheede grows in great 
abundance on the Periah Ghaut, Malabar. (Dr. Lush.) A root which seems 
to belong to M, tuberosa, was lately discovered by Mr. Nimmoon Salsette.
