126 The Natural Hiftory of the Book V; 
"Tf thefe Fruits are not gathered when ripe, thofe which drop not off, 
will feemingly wither upon the Trees; yet thefe will revive, flourith, 
and be again, as it were, ripe, at the ufual-Seafon in the following Year, 
I have feen an Inftance of this kind in'the Eftate of the Honourable 
Colonel Yobn Maycock, in St. Lucy’s Parith. 2 
The larger Branches of thisTree are, in common with all Orange, 
Lemon, Shaddock, Forbidden Fruit-trees, and Lime-trees, ftudded with 
many fharp flrong Prickles. 
The CHINA ORANGE-TREE. 
Gf Pea Tree, either in regard to its Roots or Size, Difpofition or Make 
of its Leaves, differs very little, if any thing, from the four Orange- 
tree already defcribed, unlefs that its Leaves have an Heart-like Appen-

or fharper pointed, than in the former. 
The Flowers are of the fame kind as thofe of the four Orange already 
defcribed, except that thefe are alfo lefs, and the Petals not fo thick or 
flefhy. 
The GuinEy ORANGE.

bidden Fruit. 
The GoLDEN ORANGE-TREE. 
(ges Tree differs not in either its Trunk, Leaves, or Flowers, from 
that already defcribed. 
It bears a large fine Orange, of a deep Yellow within ; from whence it 
derives the Name of a Golden Orange. 
This Fruit is neither of the Seville or China kind, tho’ it partakes of 
. both, having the Sweetnefs of the China mixt with the agreeable Bitter- 
nefs and Flavour of the Sevil/e Orange. 
The PUMPLE-NOSE-TREE, 
“| eae S Tree refembles the Shaddock in every material Circumftance. 
The Fruit nearly reprefents, in its Make, that of the leffer Shad- 
dock ; and is in Bulk fomewhat le than a Shaddock, and larger than the 
largeft Orange. 
_ Thefe Fruits are eatable, their inward juicy Veficule being much the 
fame as thofe of Shaddocks : However, they are often too four to be 
efteemed a very defirable or delicious Repatt.
