Details for: PI 539738, Citrus australis (A. Cunn. ex Mudie) Planch., 'Australian round lime'

This accession is NOT to be repropagated and will go out when field 12D Microcitrus is removed. (EM Nauer, 07/1987)

RCRC 3665 -3668 were apparently all derived from different seedlings of PI 306118. The "notes for RCRC 3665" referred to above are incorporated into this record. There is a suggestion on the archival CRC cards that the plants came from Yuma, Arizona although associated with the USDCS. However, the archival USDCS records indicate that the seeds were received directly (probably from the Plant Introduction Office). The field 12 Microcitrus was apparently removed shortly after Ed wrote this. There was a rootstock trial of Mike Roose's there when I started this position in 1994. I remembered from when working on the Seedling Yellows Indexing Project in the early 1980's that the Microcitrus had been in 12D. As we drove by in the Suburban, Mr Blue would look at them and say "There's some of Dr Bitters's weird citrus relatives." Used to give him the willies. (RR Krueger, 06/15/2011)
