{{Inc| Balsamocitrus dawei, Stapf. Fig. 454. A large tree, 50-60 ft. or more in height: first few foliage Lvs. on young plants simple but next succeeding ones 3-foliolate; lateral lfts. three-fifths to three-fourths as long as the terminal 1ft., having a cylindrical petiolule ⅜-½ in. long; terminal lft. with a much shorter petiolule, ⅛-¼ in. long, but usually borne on a section of the rachis ½-1½ in. long, jointed both at the insertion of the lateral lfts. and also where the petiolule of the terminal lft. is inserted (such imperfectly pinnate Lvs. are not uncommon in some pinnate-lvd. plants but are rare in trifoliolate species) : fls. 5-merous with 10 free stamens (twice as many as the petals): frs. globose or oval, 4-6 in. diam., with a very thick, hard woody rind and 8 oval cells surrounded by the more or less fibrous mesocarp tissue; cells contain numerous seeds imbedded in amber-colored, fragrant gum. The ripe frs. drop off the pedicel, leaving a hole through the shell where they were attached. The seeds are large, ½-¾ x 3/14-⅜ in., smooth, and germinate with a very short hypocotyl, often bringing the cotyledons to the surface of the ground or just above it. Occurring in the Budongo forest east of Lake Albert Nyanza in Uganda, E. Cent. Afr., at an altitude of 2,000-3,000 ft. —The seedlings grow very rapidly. Experiments indicate that this is a very promising stock on which to graft the bael fruit (Aegle Marmelos), which it is difficult to grow on its own roots. Ill. Journ. Linn. Soc.
