Citrus ichangensis, Swingle. Fig. 978. A small tree, with long slender spines: lvs. narrow, with oblong broadly winged petioles nearly or quite as large as the blade: fls. white; stamens 20, cohering in bundles: fr. lemon-shaped, 3-4 in. long, with a very broad low apical papilla surrounded by a shallow circular furrow; segms. 8-11; pulp acid, of good flavor; seeds very large, thick, cuneate-ovate, ½-¾ in. long and ¼-⅜ in. thick, white within.—This interesting new species, not closely allied to any other of the known members of the genus Citrus, is native in highlands of S. W. China. It is the northermost evergreen tree of the citrous group and grows at high altitude, 3,000-5,000 ft. It is able to withstand considerable cold in winter, so it is very likely to prove of value in breeding new types of hardy substitutes for the lemon. E. H. Wilson, who collected excellent material of this plant for the Arnold Arboretum, is endeavoring to secure it for trial in U. S. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
