Abstract

The author recounts years spent working and travelling in Arabia and Asia where he found and used some unusual members of the genus Citrus and discusses their taxonomy, which is very complex due to the capability of the various species to cross-fertilize and the long history of human intervention. He uses various specimens to make marmalade.
