whereas the Elytis limequat and the Lakeland limequat are hybrids of 
the Mexican lime with the round kumquat. As this limequat has already 
been propagated to some extent in Florida and is certain to become more 
or less widespread as a dooryard fruit, it seems best to give it a name, 
it is accordingly called the Tavares limequat, 13 Tavares being the town 
adjoining Eustis, between which two cities lies Mr. Frank W. Savage’s 
orange grove, where this and all the other limequats were produced. 
The fruits are very similar to those of the Eustis limequat in appear- 
ance, and have much the same flavor. (PI. 5, B.) It is often difficult to 
distinguish the fruits of these two varieties, the Tavares and the Eustis. 
On the whole the Eustis seems to be rather better in quality than the 
Tavares. The two can easily be distinguished by the fact that the 
flower buds of the Eustis are pure white while those of the Tavares 
have a pinkish coloration, like those of the West Indian lime.
