Narrative
The 'Femminello' group of lemons is the most important group in Italy. It comprises several selections with individual characteristics. The two main sub-groups are the 'Femminello Ovale' (also known as the 'Femminello Comune') and the 'Femminello Sfusato' (also known as the 'Femminello Siracusa'). The 'Ovale' is more widely planted due to having superior fruit characteristics. 'Sfusato'/'Siracusa' produce elongated, seedy fruit and are thorny. More recently, 'Santa Teresa' has been utilized as it is more resistant to mal secco.

The present accession, 'Femminello siracusano 2KR' is apparently a selection of the 'siracusa' type. It is probably considered to be superior but we currently have no information on what characteristics might be superior to the older selections. (RRK, 12/2006)

See "Pedigree" section for more information on the development of this variety. According to the developer (Giuseppe Reforgiato Recupero, ISA, Acireale, email of 11/16/2007): "The mean characteristics of this selection are: large productivity, few or absent thorns in the branch, fast growth of the fruits so Femminello Siracusano 2KR can be considered an early selection". (RR Krueger, 12/2007)

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.
