  This 
  variety 
  was 
  introduced 
  into 
  Hawaii 
  about 
  20 
  years 
  ago 
  from 
  the 
  island 
  of 
  the 
  

   same 
  name 
  in 
  the 
  South 
  Seas. 
  It 
  has 
  proved 
  to 
  be 
  a 
  very 
  good 
  fruit-bearing 
  tree, 
  quite 
  

   as 
  healthy 
  and 
  vigorous 
  as 
  any 
  of 
  our 
  limes, 
  bearing 
  fruit 
  at 
  almost 
  all 
  seasons 
  of 
  the 
  

   year. 
  The 
  fruit 
  is 
  of 
  medium 
  to 
  large 
  size. 
  The 
  rind 
  is 
  rather 
  thin 
  and 
  tender, 
  which 
  

   might 
  bar 
  this 
  variety 
  for 
  commercial 
  use. 
  It 
  is, 
  however, 
  an 
  ideal 
  lime 
  for 
  the 
  family
