A glabrous shrub or small tree with paired spines in the axils of the leaves, leaves trifoliate, the terminal leaflet largest (2-4 cm long), lateral leaflets much smaller than the terminal one (1-2-2 x 0.8-1.2 cm), broadly rounded at the tip, cuneate at the base, petiolules very short (1.5-2 cm), petioles short (3-5 mm) and wingless. Flowers fragrant, calyx 1.5-2 mm long, 3-lobed, green, persistent, petals 3, white 8-9 mm long, stamens 6, filaments slender, glabrous, 5-7 mm long, anthers oblong, 2 x 1 mm, nectary disk annular or short-cylindric, ovary 3-locular. Fruits ellipsoid to globose, 1-1.5 cm long, dull reddish-orange or crimson when fleshy ripe, peel lemon-scented with many small oil glands, 1-3 seeds per fruit, immersed in mucilaginous pulpy flesh (Stone, 1970, Liogier, 1988, Acevedo-Rodr’guez, 1996).

Description
Citrus limon is an evergreen Shrub growing to 3 m by 1 m at a medium rate. HabitatsOriginal habitat is obscure, probably a hybrid involving C. medica x C. aurantifolia., Woodland Garden Sunny Edge, South Wall. By. West Wall. By., Woodland Garden Sunny Edge, South Wall. By. West Wall. By. Known hazardsLow potential for sensitization through skin contact with volatile oil . Cultivation detailsPrefers a moderately heavy loam with a generous amount of compost and sand added and a very sunny position. Prefers a pH between 5 and 6. Tolerates a pH in the range 4.8 to 8.3. Plants are intolerant of water logging. When growing plants in pots, a compost comprising equal quantities of loam and leafmould plus a little charcoal should produce good results. Do not use manure since Citrus species dislike it. When watering pot plants it is important to neither overwater or underwater since the plant will soon complain by turning yellow and dying. Water only when the compost is almost dry, but do not allow it to become completely dry. Dormant plants can withstand temperatures down to about -6°c so long as this is preceded by a spell of 2 - 3 weeks of cool weather to allow the plant to acclimatize. If the change from mild to cold weather is more sudden then the plant will still be in growth and will be much more susceptible to damage and can be harmed by temperatures below 0°c. The young growth in spring, even on mature plants, is frost-tender and so it is best to grow the plants in a position sheltered from the early morning sun. It is best if a winter minimum of 4°c is maintained. The lemon is widely grown for its edible fruit in warm temperate and tropical zones, there are many named varieties. In Britain it can be grown in a pot that is placed outdoors in the summer and brought into a greenhouse for the winter. By budding onto hardier species such as C. aurantium, C. ichangensis or Poncirus trifoliata, the lemon becomes more cold tolerant and its climatic range can be somewhat extended. The flowers are sweetly scented. Plants dislike root disturbance and so should be placed into their permanent positions when young. If growing them in pots, great care must be exercised when potting them on into larger containers. |

It gets its common name from its host plants, which are usually citrus species such as the cultivated lime. Unlike most swallowtail butterflies, it does not have a prominent tail. The butterfly has also been referred to as the 'Butterfly of Death'. The caterpillar, known as the larva devours plants profusely, eating the leaves of the tender plants. A fully...
FACTSHEETS FOR FARMERS www.plantwise.org Created in Nepal , September 2013 Citrus gummosis Recognize the problem An early symptom of gummosis is sap oozing from small cracks in the infected bark, giving the tree a bleeding appearance. Symptoms can be seen in fruit if the disease is severe. Decline may occur may occur over several years or can happen rapidly within a year, especially under conditions favourable for disease development. It may also be seen if there was high flower initiation. This will ultimately cause the affected plant to collapse...

Q&A
S. canadensis is a 25-250 cm (mean 150 cm) tall, erect rhizomatous perennial with annual aboveground shoots and persistent belowground rhizomes. One to several rhizomes emerge near the base of the dying shoots in autumn, thus leading to a branched rhizome system rooted mainly at the old and current shoot bases. Each rhizome has the potential to produce a single aerial stem arising from the apex of the rhizome in the following spring. Roots arise from the shoot base and reach a minimum depth of 20 cm. Stems are branched only in the inflorescence, glabrous at the base, weakly to densely pubescent at least in the upper half and often reddish. Plants of var. scabra have nodding shoot tips during growth. Leaves are triple-nerved, pubescent beneath, lanceolate, often acuminate, with margins mostly serrate, occasionally entire. Inflorescences form broad pyramidal panicles with recurving branches and a central axis. Bracts of the involucre are linear, obtuse or somewhat acute. Ray florets are lemon yellow, female and fertile, disc florets bisexual and fertile. The corolla is 2.4-2.8 mm long. Achenes are pubescent, 0.9-1.2 mm long, with a pappus of 2.0-2.5 mm.
