Narrative

Cutting from CPB Sept 1930 & pltd lathhouse, balled out 3/32. Planted Apr '32. Ref Philippine Agric Review Vol VIII, No 1, 1915, pg 26. This is not the same fruit we list as Limon Real in Fd 18A-34-2 [=PI 109624]. (JA Brusca, 1964-10)

This is listed as a member of the Papeda group because it was so listed in the old [UC Citrus Experiment Station] accession book. However, The Citrus Industry, Vol I, pp 364, puts it under aurantifolia in a table of comparison of major classification systems. What is it? (EM Nauer, 1986)

The Citrus Industry doesn't give a description of C. excelsa so here 'tis: A medium size fruit - medium yellow, basically smooth but variably bumpy. Round with flattened base and blunt nose surrounded by a depressed ring. Rind thin; seedy, flesh ricey, white to yellow, very sour. Used as an indicator plant for tatterleaf-citrange stunt. (EM Nauer, 1988-01-14)

The redundant accession number PI 539192 was assigned to this genotype in error in 1990. The observations were made when it was labelled as PI 539192. This accession was received by PIO as C. aurantiifolia "mandarin lime" and was so identified in the CPB records. However, all known CES records indentify it as C. excelsa and link it to the description in Wester, 1915. The reason or source for this is not known. There are two other apparently redundant accessions of C. excelsa: PI 539194 and PI 539670. This genotype needs rationalization. (RR Krueger, 2018-09-09)
