{{Inc| Hesperethusa crenulata, Roem. (Limonia crenulata, Roxbg. L. acidisxinia, Auct., not Linn.) Naibel. Fig. 1825. Lvs. 5-9-foliate, the lfts., winged petiole and broadly winged segms. of the rachis crenate-margined: fls. small, white, fragrant, 4-merous; ovary 4-celled, 1 ovule in each cell: frs. small (1/3 – ½ in. diam.), globose, dark- colored when ripe, containing 1—4 hard smooth seeds imbedded in a scanty very bitter pulp which is not composed of pulp-vesicles: cotyledons epigeous in germination, remaining small, caducous: first foliage- lvs. simple, opposite, ovate, crenate-margined. 111. Roxbg. PI. Corom. 1:60, pi. 86. Talbot, For. fl. Bombay, p. 198, fig. 121.—This plant is usually but erroneously called Limonia acidissima, Linn., which name was originally applied to the wood-apple, Feronia, Limonia, Swingle, which see. The genus Limonia is invalid and hence the oldest valid name for this plant is the one used here. A handsome spiny shrub or small tree with beautiful light green foliage, native to dry hills in Ceylon, India, Burma and Indochina. It is easily grown under greenhouse conditions and should be better known as an ornamental. The frs. are sometimes used as a condiment in India and Arabia; they are bitter, not sour. The tree has a vigorous root-system and is deserving of trial as a stock on which to graft citrous fruit trees. In the greenhouses of the Dept. of Agric. at Washington, D. C., it has been found to grow readily when grafted on grapefruit (Citrus grandis), lemon (Citrus Limonia) and on the tabog (Chsetospermum glutinosa) and it is probable that it could be used as a stock for these and other species.
