Citrus × deliciosa

Citrus × deliciosa (thorny (Australia), amarillo, beladi, Willowleaf Mandarin, Mediterranean Mandarin[1]) is a citrus hybrid mandarin orange with just under 6 % pomelo ancestry.

[3][4] It has been widely grown around the Mediterranean since it appeared in Italy (between 1810 and 1818), but was not found in the orient until it was exported there.

Its sweet fruit is eaten, its rind oil is used to flavour food and drinks, and petitgrain oil is extracted from the pruned leaves.

[1] Its flowers (particularly petals) are also rich in essential oils.

the Citrus × deliciosa is a parent of some hybrid cultivars like:
