Citrus Cavaleriei
''Citrus cavaleriei'', the Ichang papeda (Chinese: 宜昌橙), is a slow-growing species of papeda that has characteristic lemon-scented foliage and flowers. It is native to southwestern and west-central China and is likely named for the city of Yichang (宜昌), in China's Hubei province. The Ichang papeda is notable for its unusual hardiness. With the exception of ''Poncirus trifoliata'', it is the hardiest citrus plant, tolerating both moderate frost and damp conditions. Description Relatively rare in cultivation, the Ichang papeda is a large shrub or small tree, growing to , and produces a small, mandarin-like fruit. Leaves feature a broad petiole, and resemble the leaves of the yuzu and the kaffir lime in appearance. The fruit has a fragrant, but rugged rind, and may be oval, spherical, or flattened in shape, ripening to yellow or orange. It contains many large monoembryonic seeds and a small quantity of bitter or sour juice; some fruits lack juice entirely and are inste ...

Augustin Abel Hector Léveillé
Augustin Abel Hector Léveillé (13 March 1864, in Le Mans – 25 November 1918) was a French botanist and clergyman. He attended medical school prior to entering into the priesthood. In 1887 he traveled to India as a missionary, being appointed as a professor of natural history at the College of Puducherry (city), Pondicherry. In 1891 he returned to France for health reasons, settling in his hometown of Le Mans.JSTOR Global Plants biography Following a meeting with botanist Adrien René Franchet in 1900, he agreed to perform studies on the many thousands of plant specimens sent by collectors from the Far East. From these shipments Léveillé is credited with describing around 2000 new species, with many of the plants being co-described along with Father Eugène Vaniot (1846–1913). In 1892 he founded the magazine ''Le Mon ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cold-hardy Citrus
Cold-hardy citrus is citrus with increased frost tolerance and which may be cultivated far beyond traditional citrus growing regions. Citrus species and citrus hybrids typically described as cold-hardy generally display an ability to withstand wintertime temperatures below . Cold- hardy citrus may be generally accepted 'true' species (e.g. Satsuma mandarin, kumquat) or hybrids (e.g. citrange) involving various other citrus species. All citrus fruits are technically edible, though some have bitter flavors often regarded as unpleasant, and this variability is also seen in cold-hardy citrus fruits. Those listed as "inedible fresh" or "semi-edible" can (like all citrus) be cooked to make marmalade Marmalade (from the Portuguese ''marmelada'') is a fruit preserves, fruit preserve made from the juice and peel of citrus fruits boiled with sugar and water. The well-known version is made from bitter orange. It also has been made from lemons .... Varieties Varieties of true cit ...

Citrus
''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.

Tachibana Orange
The tachibana orange (''Citrus'' × ''tachibana'', or ''Citrus reticulata'' subsp. ''tachibana'') is a variety of mandarin orange, a citrus fruit. They grow wild in the forests of Japan and are referred to in the poetry of the early Japanese and Ryukyu Islands kingdoms. and Supplement The Tanaka System assigns them their own species, while the Swingle System places them in the same species with other mandarin oranges. Genomic analysis has shown tachibana oranges to be a constellation of distinct natural F1 hybrids that cross the pure Ryukyu Island mandarin '' C. ryukyuensis'' with mainland Asian '' C. reticulata'' that was itself a hybrid of northern and southern subspecies, but also contained some prior Ryukyu mandarin introgression. They lack the pomelo introgression found in the closely related domesticated mandarin oranges of mainland Asia, though they have a mainland-mandarin-derived transposable element insertion that causes them to reproduce asexually by apomixis, unlike ...

Koji Orange
Koji orange (''Citrus leiocarpa''), also known as the smooth-fruited orange, is a ''Citrus'' species native to Japan. The specific epithet (''leiocarpa'') comes from the Greek , and . It is a taxonomical synonym of '' Citrus aurantium''. Distribution Besides Japan, it is grown in the United States, and other parts of East Asia including South Korea and China. Description The fruit is oblate in shape, slightly ribbed, bright orange in color, very small, and very seedy, and for the latter two reasons it is not grown for commercial use. It ripens from October through November and has been cultivated since at least 1900. It may be monoembryonic. The tree is densely branched and has a broad crown and a short, straight trunk. The leaves are dark green and elliptical in shape. Genetics ''Citrus leiocarpa'' is inferred to be a hybrid between a koji-type species (seed parent) and the tachibana orange (pollen parent, ''Citrus tachibana''). Its genotype matches with that of the kom ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sudachi
Sudachi (''Citrus sudachi''; Japanese: スダチ or 酢 橘) is a small, round, green citrus fruit of Japanese origin that is a specialty of Tokushima Prefecture in Japan. Harvested before it fully ripens to yellow, it is tart and not eaten as a table fruit but used to flavor sauces and marinades, desserts, and drinks in place of lemon or lime. Genetic analysis shows it to be the product of a cross between a yuzu and another citrus fruit akin to the koji and tachibana orange. General The ''sudachi'' has been cultivated for centuries in parts of Japan, and is perhaps nearly as well known as the yuzu in the country. The fruit is the specialty and symbol of the prefecture of Tokushima, which produces 98% of all the fruit grown in Japan., citing 2011 Ministry of Agriculture figures for Tokushima's 98% share and 2008 data from ''Tokushima no Engei'' for shares within the Prefecture.

Hyuganatsu
Hyuganatsu (''Citrus tamurana'', Japanese: 日向夏) is a citrus fruit and plant grown in Japan. The name comes from Hyūga, the ancient name of Miyazaki Prefecture in Kyushu, where the citrus is said to have originated, while means summer. Hyūganatsu grown outside Kyushu are sometimes shipped under different names such as , , or . Origin A hyūganatsu sapling was said to have been found in a Miyazaki garden sometime in the 1820s, after which it became widely cultivated throughout the region. It is theorized to be either a mutated yuzu or perhaps more likely, a chance hybrid between yuzu and pomelo. Description The fruit is of medium size and its shape is round to slightly oblong. When ripe, it turns a light yellow. Its flesh is juicy and sweet with a slightly sour taste. It is usually eaten cut up, sprinkled with sugar and with most of its rather thick pith intact.

Pomelo
The pomelo ( ; or pummelo, ''Citrus maxima''), also known as a shaddock, is the largest citrus fruit. It is an ancestor of several cultivated citrus species, including the bitter orange and the grapefruit. It is a natural, non-hybrid citrus fruit, native to Southeast Asia. Similar in taste to a sweet grapefruit, the pomelo is commonly eaten and used for festive occasions throughout Southeast and East Asia. As with the grapefruit, phytochemicals in the pomelo have the potential for drug interactions. Description The pomelo tree may be tall, with a trunk, often rather crooked, that is thick, and low-hanging, irregular branches. The petioles (leaf stalks) are distinctly winged. The leaves are alternate, ovate or elliptic in shape and long; they are leathery and dull green above, hairy beneath. The flowers – single or in clusters – are fragrant and yellow-white in color.
