The Forme.

The greater Citron-Tree groweth not very high in some places, but with a crooked short body; yet in others, not much lower then the Lemmon-Tree, spreading sundry great long Arms and Branches, set with long and sharp thorns, and fair, large, and broad fresh green Leaves, a little dented about the edges, very smooth, and sweet of smell: The Flowers grow at the Leaves all along the Branches, being somewhat longer then those of the Orange, made of fine thick, whitish purple, or blush Leaves, with some threds in the middle; after which, all the year long followeth fruit; for it is seldom seen without ripe fruit, and half ripe, and small, young and green, and blossoms all at once. This kind bear∣eth great and large fruit, some as great as a Musk Melon, yet others lesser; but all of them with a rugged, bunched out, and uneven yellow bark, thicker then in a∣ny of the other sorts, and with small store of sowre juyce in the middle, and some∣what great pale, whitish, or yellow Seeds, with a bitter Kernel lying therein: The smell of this Apple is very strong, but very comfortable to the senses.
