bruisea, rendering the fruit a poor shipper. Flesh is golden yellow. Seed small in 

 proportion to size of fruit. A rare variety even in Ceylon. Flesh free from stringi-

 not very robust, and Dr. Drieberg does not recommend the variety for general planting.

This is also called the Two Shilling. It is a sparse bearer; fruit the largest of 

 the local (Ceylon) varieties, of first quality; skin pale green; seed small compared to 

 size of fruit; ripens late and is not a good keeper. The tree is not a free grower 

 and is tender. This variety is scarce and expensive. Requires very careful ripening.
