Fortunella margarita. Swingle (Citrus margarita, Lour.). Figs. 1563, 1564. Oval Kumquat. Nagami Kumquat. A shrub or small tree, thornless or nearly so: twigs slender, angled when young, often somewhat tufted: lvs. lanceolate, tapering toward both ends, the tip abruptly rounded, sometimes emarginate, the base cuneate, margin usually obscurely crenate above the middle, dark green above, veins scarcely visible, pale green and densely glandular-punctate below: fls. arising singly or in few-fld. clusters in the axils of the lvs., small, 2/5 – 3/5 in. diam.; pedicel short, l ½ -2 ½ lines long; bud more or less angular in cross section; pistil short, 2-2 ½ lines; style persistent, scarcely longer than the ovary; stigma capitate, cavernous, with large, deep-seated oil- glands between the stylar canals; ovary 4- or 5-celled, ovules 2 in a cell, usually collateral: frs. oval or oblong, 1-1 1/5 x 5/6 – 1 in., rarely 1 1/3 – 1 ½ in. long, yellowish orange with large translucent oil-glands imbedded in the thick and fleshy skin; pulp-vesicles abundant, fusiform, pulp acid; seeds large, 5-6 x 3-3 ½ x 2-2 ½ lines, oval; embryos one or several, pistache-green in section; germination with, hypogeous cotyledons: first foliage-lvs. opposite,oval, narrowed at the base but without a sharply delimited jointed petiole. B.M. 6128. G.C. 11.2:336. Hume, Citr. Fr. p. 129.—The oval kumquat, the type of the genus Fortunella, is the most vigorous member of the genus, the branched shrub or tree attaining a height of 10-12 ft. and the lvs. sometimes reaching 6 in. length and 2 in. width. It was the first kumquat to reach Eu., having been brought to England by Robert Fortune in 1846. Because of its superior vigor it is the one most commonly grown commercially, but the frs. are inferior to those of the following species, the skin being harsh in flavor because of the biting quality of the oil.<br />
