Dear All: Citrus plants are often used and cared for their Ornamental value...
liked these one summer in a southern California garden....
no labels were present , and the day I photographed them a gardener was not around...

So have labelled them DUBIA...

I am submitting them just for their beauty...

Dear All: I just found some notes... hastily jotted down

these fruits were most likely Kumquats....

so not really dubia,

Yes Ushadi

This seems to be the oval kumquat, Fortunella margarita (Lour.) Swingle (syn: Citrus margarita Lour.), Nagami kumquat,

The other type, rounded kumquat is Fortunella japonica, also called marumi kumquat
