Cultivar or taxon

Citrus x aurantium L. X Citrus japonica Thunb. (sensu Mabberley 2004); Citrus unshiu Marcov. x (Fortunella japonica (Thunb.) Swingle X Fortunella margarita (Lour.) Swingle 'Meiwa') (sensu Swingle and Reece 1967; sensu Tanaka sec. Cottin 2002)

Origin

Hodgson (1967) noted that: "The name given to this class of hybrid is misleading since its parentage involves a mandarin rather than a true orange (C. sinensis or C. aurantium). So far as the writer has been able to ascertain, only one cross was made and one variety named ([Swingle and Reece 1967])."

Description

Crown compact or dense, not weeping. First-year twig surface glabrous; second- or third-year twig surface striate; thorns absent or not persistent; prickles absent or not persistent. Petiole glabrous, length short or medium; wings narrow, adjoining the blade. Leaflets one, margin bluntly toothed, shade leaflet blades flat or weakly conduplicate, sun leaflet blades weakly or strongly conduplicate. Scent of crushed leaflets sweetly orange-like. Fruit as broad as long or longer than broad; rind yellow-orange (11), or orange (12); rind texture slightly rough (4-5); firmness leathery; navel absent; flesh orange; taste acidic-sweet or sour.
