Narrative

Originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. A variegated orange containing alternating stripes of light and green color before maturity. Leaves ornamental. Said to be a commercial variety in Brazil. (Anonymous, ca 1920 - 1950?)

Note: This should not be confused with the acidless Imperiale from Spain. (WP Bitters, ca 1980?)

This accession had exocortis and probably seedling yellows, removed by shoot tip grafting (STG 60-1). (EM Nauer, 1985)

Fruit is variegated, having corregated rind with varying color stripes; flavor is fair. Might have ornamental potential. (EM Nauer, 03/23/1987)

Fruit has pretty good flavor but moderately seedy. Will plan to enter this accession to a new VI and move to the Lindcove foundation block. (EM Nauer, 01/13/1988)

Was entered as VI 473in fall 1988 but had psorosis; put into Thermo, which plants did not push well. Sched to re-enter in 1990. (EM Nauer, 11/1989)

This accession was mistakenly given PI 600658. When the error was discovered, PI 600658 was inactivated. PI 539606 should be used. (RR Krueger, 11/10/2010)
