Citrus Limonia, Osbeck (from Arabic limun, a lemon) (C. Medica var. Limon, Linn. C. Limonium, Risso). Lemon. Fig. 974. A small tree with long irregular branches: thorns short, stout and stiff: lvs. rather pale green, elongate- ovate, pointed at the tip, with serrate or sub-serrate margins; petioles wingless but sometimes narrowly margined, articulated both with the blade and the twig: fls. rather large, solitary or in small clusters in the axils of the lvs., reddish-tinted in the bud; petals white above, reddish purple below; stamens 20-40; ovary tapering into the deciduous style: fr. oval or oblong, with an apical papilla, 3-5 x 2-3 in. with 8-10 segms., lemon-yellow when ripe, with a prominently glandular-dotted peel, often more or less rough and moderately thick; pulp very abundant, very acid; seeds small, ovate, smooth, often few or none, white inside. —The lemon is very sensitive to cold as, like the citron and the lime, it is readily forced into new growth by a few days of warm weather in winter. It is found in all tropical and warm subtropical regions and is cult. on a large scale in the Medit. region, especially in Sicily, whence large quantities of the frs. are exported to the U. S. In this country the lemon is widely cult. in Calif. and to a much smaller extent in Fla. The frs. are gathered just before they ripen while still green in color and often before they attain their full size and are then ripened in curing-houses, in which temperature and humidity are artificially controlled. The juice is used for making lemonade, for cooking, and the arts; the peel is used in cooking and the oil extracted from it is used in cooking and in perfumery. The principal cult, varieties have rather small smooth frs. The more important varieties are listed here: Eureka. Frs. oval-oblong, medium size, usually seedless, ripening early: tree small, nearly thornless. Genoa. Frs. oval, pointed at base and tip, ripening early, seedless: tree dwarf. Lisbon. Frs. oblong, with a large papilla at the tip, few-seeded: tree of medium size, thorny; a vigorous grower. Villa Franca. Frs. oval-oblong, medium to large, apex abruptly papillate, seeds numerous: tree of good size, nearly thornless. Kennedy. Frs. oval, with a very small papilla, thin-skinned, nearly seedless. Ponderosa. Frs. very large, sometimes weighing 2½ lbs., with a neck at the base; seeds numerous. Everbearing. Frs. large, abruptly papillate at the tip, with a narrowed neck at the base, rough all over; seeds rather numerous: everbearing, borne on a straggling bushy tree that sprouts from the roots. Grown for home use in Fla. Rough (Florida Rough). A tree of doubtful origin, occurring wild in the Everglades of S. Fla.: frs. round- ovate, very rough, apical papilla surrounded by a depressed ring; seeds numerous: tree large and vigorous. The frs. of this variety are useless for commercial purposes, but the seeds are in considerable demand by nurserymen as the tree makes an excellent stock for very poor sandy or calcareous soils.
