The lemon sussu offers many varieties
differing little in size and form of fruit,
and these all appear to be related to the
citron, but they differ from it in the flow
ers, which are aXillary, and which grow
beside the thorn, often singly, some
times to the number of two or three,
but never on a common peduncle. I6
fruit is oblong, and forms kind of cone
the uneven skin yellowish and insipid,
encloses whitish and acidulated pith.
Rumphius says that the citron tree, or
limo naammosus, is not indigenous, and
which are called lemon lara; also, that
all these Indian oranges have peculiar
traits, making them differ from Euro
pean Citrus.
This remark is strengthened by his
descriptions, always telling us of new
beings that we cannot associate with our
Citrus.

The GaRoaellus aurarius has the physi-

Its stem is tall, its leaf, deeply colored
and variegated, is upon a petiole, whose |
wings are very nearly as large as the
leaf.
