Wilson in his Sanskrit dictionary calls it \*Citrus decumana\*. In the \*Hortus Bengalensis\* it is translated into \*Citrus medica\*, while Drury and other Madras authorities make the variety \*Citrus Limonum\*. The \*Sabdakalpadruma\* does not give any synonym or vernacular term for it, so that it is difficult to say, what form it really meant. In the vernacular the term \*karuná\* is applied to a variety of \*Citrus medica\*. - [Previous: c5.s7.29](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.dutt-1877.c5.s7.29) - [Next: c5.s7.31](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.dutt-1877.c5.s7.31) - [Up: c5.s7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.dutt-1877.c5.s7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.dutt-1877.c5.s7.30](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.dutt-1877.c5.s7.30) · Pramāṇa
