Citrus maxima (in Sanskrit: Madhukarkaṭa) is used in certain bio-organical recipes for plant mutagenesis, according to the Vṛkṣāyurveda by Sūrapāla (1000 CE): an encyclopedic work dealing with the study of trees and the principles of ancient Indian agriculture.—Accordingly, “If a ripened Citrus maxima [e.g., Madhukarkaṭa] is kept in an earthen pot and left (buried) underground and nourished by water of oil cake, and flesh, it grows to the size of a jar”.
