35690. Citrus sp. Orange. 



Mussemhi. This word is, of course, a corruption of Mozambique. The intro- 

 duction of this orange into India is unknown, but it is probably traceable to the 

 early Portuguese settlers at Goa. It is commonly grown in the Dekkan, and is a 

 handsome orange color, of the Malta type. As a sucking orange it is to my 

 * mind delicious. It comes into bearing very early. I am unable in all instances 

 to personally testify to the quality of the varieties, as up to the present many of 

 them have not fruited properly since I have been in charge here. " {A.C. Hartless).
