Etrog. This name is applied by the Jews to a citron (Citrus Medico, Linn.), which is imported and used by them for religious ceremonies connected with the Feast of the Tabernacles. The etrog and the lulab (palm leaf with myrtle and willow branches) are carried and waved during the services, especially those of thanksgiving. Since the tune of the anti-Jewish demonstrations in Corfu in 1891, the etrog is imported more largely from Palestine than from that island. In addition to the use of the etrog by orthodox Jews for religious ceremonials, the natives of Palestine make salads of the fruit. See Citron. Walter T. Swingle.
