Pomelo flower
Citrus maxima, or Citrus grandis
22.5726, 88.3639
Field Notes
Description:
Typical "citrus"flower in looks.
Habitat:
Farmhouse in Village Bakrahaat near Kolkta. This had a banana garden and a guava garden; other trees were largely left to nature's whims.
Notes:
Called Batapi-lebu in West Bengal, India. Jambura in Bangladesh.
Kids in pre-partition India (pre-1947) used fruits of this tree as footballs...the size and shape is perfectly like one and trees grow wild.
