Triphasia trifolia, P. Wilson (Limonia trifolia, Burm. T. aurantiola, Lour. T. trifoliata, DC.). Lime-Berry. Fig. 3848. A shrub or small tree, sometimes attaining a height of 15 ft.: lvs. trifoliolate, dark green; lfts. ovate, retuse, entire-margined, lateral ones smaller than the central one; spines in pairs, straight, very sharp, shorter than the lvs.: fls. white, fragrant, axillary, solitary; petals thick; stamens free, filaments subulate, shorter than the corolla; style thick, longer than the stamens: fr. ovate, small, dull red, 1/2 in. diam., having a thick skin, 1-celled, generally with only a single large seed, imbedded in the mucilaginous spicy pulp. Burmann, Fl. Ind., tab. 35. Jacq. Icon. pl. rar. v. 3, pl. 463. L.B.C. 1:18. Riss. & Poit. Hist. nat. or. 2 ed., pl. 108.—Of unknown nativity but widely cult. and naturalized in tropical and subtropical regions, being grown as an ornamental plant. Prop. by seed. The frs., which are filled with a highly aromatic juicy pulp, are sometimes used in tropical countries for making marmalade. The shrub is attractive, flowering and fruiting freely and is used for lawn planting and hedges, but it is injured by severe frosts. This species is able to grow in soil too salty to support the common citrous frs. and is being tested as a stock for use on such soil.
