2015april_sk33/33 : GANDHORAJ LEBU ?

[surajit koley]

A seller was selling these as GANDHORAJ LEBU in our market. I bought 3 at Rs. 10/-. The fruits are seedless, acidic (not much), smells like usual PATI-LEBU, though a bit stronger. I do not know if this can be gandhoraj lebu. But surely it's a hybrid, being seedless.

[Ushadi Micromini]

product of :  a lemon  (shape) and lime (not too acidic and thinnish rind) ... and added bonus to them ... seed less...

not gondoraj ...if not really strongly scented

but on krishi vigyan show they had talked of many varieties of lebu a farmer could plant in west bengal

i did not take notes

but it can be traced

the speaker was from kalyani univ

i wish they would have websites and all the information written up and handy

like the extension office websites of many aggie colleges and univ in USA

in one many many years ago i had even found varieties of patol one could grow profitably in florida soils and weather for the local indian populations and ..listen to this for export to india...

bojo...

but for here ...i am hoping..

lets hope

Yes Didi, I think now there is no use of finding species level ID of these lebu(s)!

Thank you

ah, so I was on the right track, in  a nonbotanist way

I thought it was a lime  masquerading as a lemon or  vice versa

but the assam lemons i think have seeds if i am not mistaken

BSI key & description of Citrus - http://efloraindia.nic.in/efloraindia/taxonList.action?id=3636&type=3, There are a few pics and illustrations in species pages too.

IPNI search informs longilimon actually is longelimon and refers to http://ci.nii.ac.jp/vol_issue/nels/AA00106812_en.html.

Thanks to Japan for providing open access to the document - "A revision of Assam Citrus".

Where does BSI fit Citrus longelimon Tanaka n. sp.?

Thank you
