. Citrus decumana was correctly interpreted by Blanco, It is
common and widely distributed in the Philippines in cultivation,
but is not a native of the Archipelago;, undoubtedly of prehis-
toric introduction, probably from southern China. Ite more
general native names are suha and lucban. Aurantium maxi-
mwm Burm. f. supplies the oldest specific, name.
