MULTILINGUAL MULTISCRIPT PLANT NAME DATABASE

Sorting Citrus names

    Introduction


The original file Citrus.html  has now a cross-index of all Citrus & related species in our database records (below). We have split all species into 3 smaller files. We are in the process of adding indexes in every language (on-going effort), especially those presenting handling difficulties with either databases or browsers, or any other electronic data handling device, or all of the above.

Citrus records part 1 :
Citrus alata   to Citrus maxima 
 

Citrus records part 2 :
Citrus medica  to Citrus yuko
 

Citrus records part 3 :

Hybrids & some relatives

Citrus cross-index

Notes

"There is considerable controversy between different authorities as to the number of valid species within the genus Citrus. The main reasons are that citrus fruits have been grown by man for many centuries. Early descriptions lack precision so that origins and ranges of natural occurences are now uncertain. Hybridisation both between and within species occurs readily and the phenomena of apomixis and polyembryony are widespread in the genus. By these means nucellar mother tissue in the developing seed can develop into plants which exactly reproduce the female parent and enable both natural and artificial hybrids to reproduce themselves, that is they come true-to-type from seed. "   Donald McEwan Alexander, 1983, page 8.

There are several classifications of Citrus ranging from the most comprehensive (Tanaka's - 159 species) to the least useful (Scora (1975), Barrett and Rhodes (1976) who recognise only C. grandis, C. medica & C. reticulata. In between are Swingle's classification which is lacking details and efforts at reviewing older classifications such as Mabberley's but often these reviews are limited and do not cover the whole worldwide spectrum. So we have basically kept to Tanaka's classification in order to make sense of the vernacular of most countries. Whenever possible we have given some synonymy based on some of the reviews.
For a correspondance in the 2 main classifications Tanaka # Swingle we refer readers to either of the 2 references Jian-guo Xu or Citrus of the World  because not only do we find it hard to comprehende the Swingle classification in the absence of many subspecific taxa but we find the Swingle classification confusing.

Most of the Asian names, Chinese and Japanese, added in this major update (2007) are transliterated from either original or commercially known names in other languages. They should add comprehension to Chinese or Japanese speakers as well as to people interested in those languages. A number of the original Japanese common names from which the botanical names were derived have also been added, even in the absence of any other name in any other language. This is to facilitate the comprehension of those strange botanical names sounding more Japanese than Latin such as Citrus omikanto.
These updates continue our theme started in 1999 with "Chinese names of European fruit cultivars"
except that this time the transliterations work in many directions.
