Ornamental Oranges for ID : 180711 : AK-1: I had this miniature orange plant bought from a vendor from Darjeeling. The fruit is very sour even when ripe. The young fruits are used to make achar. I am also waiting for ID. Could be Fortunella japonica (Citrus japonica / Citrus fortunella) yes, these are commonly called chinese oranges and are very bitter and sour. but they make a wonderful bitter marmalade and pickle. They are also preserved whole in a brandy and sugar syrup to make delicious liqueur. I got one of these too last year and though mine is a small plant it already has about 5 fruits on it. I have been looking for it’s ID too and I thought it might be the Calamondin orange. Not sure though.
Rutaceae week: UD7 Ornamental Citrus not otherwise classified: I just found some notes… hastily jotted down these fruits were most likely Kumquats…. so not really dubia, Yes … This seems to be the oval kumquat, Fortunella margarita (Lour.) Swingle (syn: Citrus margarita Lour.), Nagami kumquat,

Fruits & Vegetables: Citrus var.???_RKC:
Commonly available in the market of S. Korea. I think Citrus sinensis, the orange Citrus sinensis we get them here too I hope it is Citrus japonica, Kumquot, looks similar to C. sinensis but fruit is mostly smaller than 2.5 cm, mostly 3-4 chambered.

All the fruits were small in size, not getting bigger.
Could be Atalantia Species?
Pl. also check Atalantia species in efi site with images.
yes it looks like Atalantia monophylla Was lucky to see a couple of ripe fruits on the same plant yesterday. Net images showing different fruit images.
could not this be just the run of the mill nagpur santara. i just bought some and they thay this same fluffy looking wrinkled skin and the knobby distal end yes I agree with …, not Atalantia or Pamburus I was also thinking it to be oranges.
Thank you all for the feedback. Noted. citruses of same sp can be many sizes, unless its commercially grown, where nurseries do most likely mass production in tissue explants etc Pl. check tiny orange like fruits of ×Citrofortunella microcarpa Since it is a cultivated plant it may be kumquat fruit; Citrus japonica Thanks, … What id the difference between Citrus japonica and ×Citrofortunella microcarpa ? Synonyms according to most databases, though not very clear At the same time Citrus microcarpa A. Bunge ambiguous synonym of C. japonica Thunb.
World Flora online considers C. x microcarpa Bunge as ambiguous with Citrofortunella microcarpa (Bunge) D. O. Wijnands as synonym
C. microcarpa Bunge as synonym of C. japonica Thunb
Kew Database considers C. x microcarpa Bunge as unplaced with Citrofortunella microcarpa (Bunge) D. O. Wijnands as synonym, does not list C. japonica . Location : Gyaneswor, Kathmandu, Nepal

Please tell me the name of this Rutaceae (??) : 7 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (3) Could be a species of Atalantia. But not sure in the absence of flowers I think Citrus mitis Blanco (Chinese orange), an ornamental plant…. I express my sincere thanks to you for kindly telling the name. It is Citrus japonica Thunb. as per images and details herein.
17082011-BS-001 citrus Shrub for Id from arya PG College Panipat Haryana: pls id this Citrus shurb shot from Arya PG College Campus Panipat Haryana (220 mts) on 25-6-11
it is a garden shrub about 6 feet high
fruit size about .5 to .75 inche only.
Nurserymen says it is Chinese orange Citrus microcarpa??? may be a bad guess I think u r right … Watch for the fruits and then decide. Possibly Citrus Aurantium. I agree with whoever said that to wait till the fruits appear… watch’em mature and then open up one, if its your own tree or your study tree. It is Citrus japonica Thunb. as per images and details herein. It is Round kumquat tree. The name is changed to Fortunella japonica. Round shaped fruit used in juice and marmalade making.

Citrus plant seen in the resort where we were staying. A cultivated plant, around 3 feet in height seen on 21/5/14.
Species id please. Look like Calamondin [ x Citrofortunella microcarpa (Bunge) Wijnands]- an intergeneric hybrid of Citrus reticulata and Fortunella japonica, known only in cultivation. Thanks to you and … for the id. I had posted one from Delhi earlier which was identified as the same.
Could you look into this as well?
Look like Calamondin [ x Citrofortunella microcarpa (Bunge) Wijnands]- an intergeneric hybrid of Citrus reticulata and Fortunella japonica, known only in cultivation.
Fruit size when mature ? I found only the flowers and green fruits during our short stay at Corbett. No idea about the size of the ripe ones. It was a small plant, barely 2-3 feet. Not a tree. It is Citrus japonica Thunb. as per images and details herein. But there is a difference in both the flowers, these and the ones seen in Delhi.
Rutaceae Week : Ornamental for ID : Nasik : 080512 : AK-1: no.. Idea… but the flowers and the peculiar leaves just made me think if it was a Rutaceae member. May be some Citrus species Citrus mitis….. Calamondin orange or Hazara…..
