The Bābur-nāma in English (Memoirs of Bābur)

Note 1883 — SECTION III. HINDŪSTĀN (continued 2)

Annette Susannah Beveridge translation

Watts, C. decumana, the shaddock or pumelo; Firminger (p. 223) has C. decumana pyriformis suiting Bābur’s “pear-shaped”. What Bābur compared it with will be the Transoxanian pear and quince (P. amrūd and bihī) and not the Indian guava and Bengal quince (P. amrūd and H. bael).
