Citrus fruit and plant
The Nanfengmiju (Citrus reticulata 'Nanfengmiju'[ 1] ) is a rare non-hybrid citrus.[ 2]
A small, sweet fruit, it is one of the most widely cultivated varieties of mandarin orange in China.[ 3] It is thought to be a descendant of the Tang and Song dynasty ruju , and related to the Japanese kishu , which is now also grown and sold in North America.[ 3] Genetically, it is identical to the kishu.[ 4]
