The fruit of the tree resembles small oranges. It has a bitter flavor and is commonly called by its Italian name, ''chinotto'' (). It is an essential flavoring agent of most Italian amari, of the popular Campari apéritif, and of several brands of carbonated soft drinks that are generically called "chinotto".

Orange (fruit)
The orange, also called sweet orange to distinguish it from the bitter orange (''Citrus × aurantium''), is the fruit of a tree in the family (biology), family Rutaceae. Botanically, this is the hybrid Citrus × sinensis, ''Citrus'' × ''sinensis'', between the pomelo (''Citrus maxima'') and the mandarin orange (''Citrus reticulata''). The chloroplast genome, and therefore the maternal line, is that of pomelo. There are many related hybrids including of mandarins and sweet orange. The sweet orange has had its full Whole genome sequencing, genome sequenced. The orange originated in a region encompassing Northern and southern China, Southern China, Northeast India, and Myanmar; the earliest mention of the sweet orange was in Chinese literature in 314 BC. Orange trees are widely grown in tropical and subtropical areas for their sweet fruit. The fruit of the Citrus × sinensis, orange tree can be eaten fresh or processed for its juice or fragrant peel (fruit), peel. In 2022, 76 mil ...

It is a type of bitters, characterised by its dark red colour. It is produced by the Davide Campari Group, a multinational company based in Italy. History Campari was invented in 1860 by Gaspare Campari in Novara, Italy. It was originally coloured with carmine dye, derived from crushed cochineal, cochineal insects, which gave the drink its distinctive red colour. Campari Group discontinued the use of carmine in 2006. In 1904, Campari's first production plant was opened in Sesto San Giovanni, near Milan, Italy.

Garden Plants
A garden is a planned space, usually outdoors, set aside for the cultivation, display, and enjoyment of plants and other forms of nature. The single feature identifying even the wildest wild garden is ''control''. The garden can incorporate both natural and artificial materials. Gardens often have design features including statuary, follies, pergolas, trellises, stumperies, dry creek beds, and water features such as fountains, ponds (with or without fish), waterfalls or creeks. Some gardens are for ornamental purposes only, while others also produce food crops, sometimes in separate areas, or sometimes intermixed with the ornamental plants. Food-producing gardens are distinguished from farms by their smaller scale, more labor-intensive methods, and their purpose (enjoyment of a pastime or self-sustenance rather than producing for sale, as in a market garden). Flower gardens combine plants of different heights, colors, textures, and fragrances to create interest and delight ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Chōzaburō Tanaka
, often Romanized as Tyôzaburô Tanaka (November 3, 1885 in Osaka – June 28, 1976), was a Japanese botanist and mycologist. He established one of the two major Biological classification, taxonomic classification systems for citrus and related genera currently in use, and is now considered to be a taxonomic "Lumpers and splitters#Lumping and splitting in biology, splitter". He is the author of 180 botanical names in the citrus family Rutaceae, including for example ''Citrus Hybrid name (botany), × latifolia'' (Persian lime) and ''Citrus tangerina'' (tangerine). Many of the species Tanaka described are still recognized, but his overall scheme is not supported by modern genetic research. With Yaichi Shimada, Tanaka issued and distributed specimens in a numbered series resembling an exsiccata under the title ''Flora of Taiwan. Collected and distributed by Prof. T. Tanaka and Y. Shimada''. Works * * See also * Citrus hybrids References * * Botanists with author abbr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Citrus Aurantium Var
''Citrus'' is a genus of flowering trees and shrubs in the family Rutaceae. Plants in the genus produce citrus fruits, including important crops such as oranges, mandarins, lemons, grapefruits, pomelos, and limes. ''Citrus'' is native to South Asia, East Asia, Southeast Asia, Melanesia, and Australia. Indigenous people in these areas have used and domesticated various species since ancient times. Its cultivation first spread into Micronesia and Polynesia through the Austronesian expansion (–1500 BCE). Later, it was spread to the Middle East and the Mediterranean () via the incense trade route, and from Europe to the Americas. Renowned for their highly fragrant aromas and complex flavor, citrus are among the most popular fruits in cultivation. With a propensity to hybridize between species, making their taxonomy complicated, there are numerous varieties encompassing a wide range of appearance and fruit flavors.
