One measure of my distractedness is that it wasn’t until today that I 
was even able to come up with the one identification that I knew I 
knew — or had known, anyway. The Kaffir Lime is Citrus hystrix , also 
known as the n ?apeda. M The Thai name, which sounds like "mahgud," is 
probably to be spelled "makrut." The Burmese name is said to be 
M shauk-nu M or "shauk-waing; w the Cambodian, "krauch soeuch; M and the 
Indonesian "jeruk purut” or M jeruk sambal." I draw this information 
from Alan Davidson. Seafood of South - East Asia (Singapore: Federal 
Publications, 1977;, p. 206. An excellent book, by the wav, with nice 
illustrations of the fish or other seafoods (some in color), illustrated 
discussions of the uncommon cooking ingredients, and then a tempting 
selection Of recipes. Note from Elling Eide, 12 June 1982.
