Narrative
Notes from donor at the time of receipt at NCGRCD: "...name and taxon uncertain...[origin:] unknown (New Zealand); cultivated in private collection of donor; spontaneous bud mutation; cultivar MIGHT be under plant patent protection (uncertain) but not valid for USA (for shure).' Further correspondence from the donor (email of 06/03/2006) states that 'RRUT 205, called surantiifolia var is as I find not a aurantifolia, but a lemon. I think, that the name is a marketing tric of the person. I think that it is indeed the cultivar 'Citrus limon Golden Gift' from New Zealand. 'Golden GIft' is a bud [mutation] from [Villafranca lemon], very similar to 'Eureka' lemon. I have both plants and the aurantifolia looks identical to me to the 'Golden Gift' plant, which a friend took home from NZ, where he lived for several years.'" Based upon this comment, and the appearance of the plant, the taxon was changed from C aurantiifolia to C limon 06/21/2006. Further, the uncertain identification of this accession with 'Golden Gift' was annotated under Plant Name on the same date. (RRK, 06/2006)

Reise Ostindien 250. 1765 "limonia"
Comment:
Osbeck's Dagb. Ostind. resa (1757) provided a Latin description but no name for the taxon that was identified as "Citrus limonia" in the 1765 German translation (Resie Ostindien). In the preface of the German translation, Osbeck stated that he had used Linnaeus' names from Sp. pl., where "Malus Limonia acida" appeared as a synonym of C. medica var. limon L. Although Osbeck makes no reference to the Linnaean basionym, nor did he adopt the spelling of the Linnaean epithet, it is clear that he was following Linnaeus, and therefore it is possible to apply Shenzhen ICN Art. 41.4 and Art. 60.1.
