Citrus (genus) (Rutaceae (family), Sapindales (order), ... Living Organisms (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Genus of plants that includes the citron, lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, tangerine, shaddock, and their many varieties, most yielding pulpy fruits covered with fairly thick skins. The genus is believed to have originated in southeast Asia; citrus has been cultivated in an increasingly large area since ancient times. The precise number of natural species is unclear and their taxonomy is complex because many of the named species are clonally propagated hybrids. There is genetic evidence that even some wild breeding species are of hybrid origin: cultivated citrus may be derived from as few as four ancestral species.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Chinese (traditional) ..... 植物的屬名，包含枸櫞、檸檬、萊姆、柑、葡萄柚、橘、柚及此類植物的多個衍生品種，多結有外皮層偏厚而果肉多的果實。一般咸認橘屬植物源於東南亞，自古以來即為人廣於各地栽種。目前尚無法確知原生橘屬植物的精確品種數量，由於許多已命名之種類皆為無性繁殖之混種，故橘屬植物的分類相當複雜。基因證據顯示有部分野生柑橘屬植物亦為混種，而現代栽種培育的柑橘屬植物最早可能僅從四個原始種繁衍而成。 |
| Dutch ..... Genus van planten, waaronder de sukadeboom, citroenboom, limoenboom, sinaasappelboom, grapefruit, mandarijnboom, pompelmoes en vele andere soorten. De meeste produceren vlezige vruchten met een tamelijk dikke schil. Men denkt dat het genus oorspronkelijk uit Zuidoost-Azië komt. Sinds de oudheid is men deze bomen in een steeds groter gebied gaan kweken. Het precieze aantal natuurlijke soorten is onduidelijk en hun classificatie is complex omdat veel soorten kruisingen zijn die door middel van klonering zijn gekweekt. Er is genetisch bewijs dat zelfs een aantal soorten die in het wild voorkomen oorspronkelijk kruisingen waren. Gekweekte citrusbomen stammen misschien af van niet meer dan vier oersoorten. |
