w Orange, lemon, and lime trees of Asiatic origin have long been cultivated for their fruit, and for orna- 

 ment in many tropical countries, including the warmer sections of our southern border, where a number 

 of these small trees have escaped and become naturalized. They are to be found in an apparently wild 

 state and should be accounted for as adventive members of our tree flora.
