THE RELATION BETWEEN RHYTHMIC GROWTH 

 AND VARIETY IN CITRUS FRUITS. 



By Thomas Meehan, Botanist to the State Board of Agriculture, 



Pennsylvania, U.S.A. 



The recognition that growth is rhythmic, and not one continuous 

 act, affords a ready explanation of many phenomena otherwise in- 

 explicable ; and this is well illustrated by a comparison of various forms 

 of fruit in the orange and other varieties of the citrus tribe. 



Occassionally an orange may be found wholly formed inside of another 

 orange, and more frequently an orange will be found projecting from 

 the apex of another — that is partially enclosed, while in another which 

 has been propagated as a distinct variety and called the Navel orange, 

 a very small attempt to form another fruit at the apex is generally seen 

 giving the navel or umbilical appearance from which the variety 

 derives its name. 



The morpbological unity of the foliaceous and floral part of a plant 

 being conceded, we conceive of the axis as being arrested in its long- 

 itudinal development when a flower is being formed. In most oranges, 

 we find the axis still extending a considerable distance into the fruit 

 but varying very much in consistency in different varieties. Sometimes 

 it is quite woody, in others it is found cellular and so soft that it can be 

 compressed between finger and thumb ; while in some — notably in a 

 variety known as Tangierine there is rarely but a few lines of axis, 

 usualy no axis at all.
