Citrus reticulata ‘Dwarf or Pot Orange’
A Citrus reticulata Blanco cultivar. See Citrus reticulata ‘Mandarin Orange’ for a description of the Mandarin and Tangerine group. I have no specific description of this variety and it is perhaps more likely to be a Sweet Orange rather than Mandarin. See Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck var. ‘Chinese Oval’ for further information on the Sweet Orange.
Horticultural & Botanical History
However, the ‘Dwarf or Pot Orange’ could be the orange described and figured at BR f.211/1817 as Citrus nobilis var. minor, the Dwarf Mandarin Orange-Tree, but there is insufficient information to be sure. See Citrus reticulata Blanco var. ‘Small Mandarin’.
History at Camden Park
Listed in all published catalogues as ‘Dwarf ditto or Pot Orange’ [Orange Tribe no.11/1850].
