Narrative

Originally from Botucatu, Brazil. Little is known about this selection. See material on file for results of disease testing and other information. (RRK, 2006-06)

When this was finally planted and observed, it was noted that it was not a mandarin and was not seedless. Therefore, it is inactivated. Farewell. (R.R. Krueger, 2020-09-04)
