  Missing kumquats (and calamondins and mandarinquats)

  A Persian lime is a cross between a Key lime and a lemon? I never would have guessed that, that's really interesting.

  This is cool! I do wish I could search for a specific citrus by name.

  Seems to be missing the Etrog? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citrus_taxonomy#Citrons

  Also, the "click to show search results" is cool but fails for "Arizona Citron" in obvious ways.

    There are lots of citruses missing; the ones in the chart are only the ones I could find reliable values for (from the sources at the bottom). I'll add more if I can find other reliable sources. For what it's worth, I think the etrog is basically a pure citron variety.

    Yeah, that's definitely an issue. If I get a chance, I'll curate images to add!

    Apparently it's also known as the Greek citron, but I don't see it under that name either.

    Just walk around San Jose residential neighborhoods, all the combinations are literally dropping everywhere.

      There was a great pomelo tree around the corner from me a few years back.
