*Madhukarkatiká*. This variety of *Citrus medica* is probably the one described by Roxburgh as *Mithá nebu*, that is sweet lemon. The variety of *Citrus* which has very large oblong fruits, almost equal in size to the shaddock, and the thick spongy rind of which constitutes the largest portion of the fruit, was shewn to me by a gardener in Malda, under the name of madhukarkati. The pulp of this variety is very limited in quantity, of a bland sweetish taste and without any aroma or acidity.
