Atalantia monophylla, DC. (Limonia monophylla, Roxbg., not Linn.). A large shrub or small tree, native to India, Ceylon, Burma, Siam and Indo-China, usually spiny: Lvs. glabrous, or sometimes pubescent, 1-3 in. long; petioles short, slightly or not at all winged: fls. borne in axillary panicles; calyx irregularly lobed, split to the base on one side; petals usually 4, stamens 8, the filaments connate and forming a completely closed tube; ovary 3-5-celled: fr. from ½-¾ in. diam., with a skin like a lime, globose, with several cells (generally 4), each usually containing 1 seed and filled with pulp-vesicles, making the fr. much like a miniature orange. India, Ceylon, farther India. Ill. Roxbg. PI. Corom., pl. 83. Wight, Icones, pl. 1611. Engl. in Engl. and Prantl. Nat. Planzenf. III. 4:191; fig. III, C.D.—This tree, still little known outside of India and Ceylon, is the type of the genus Atalantia, and one of the promising species for trial as a stock on which to graft other citrus frs., and also for use in breeding new types of citrus frs. The frs. yield an oil which in India is considered a valuable application in chronic rheumatism.
