The mandelo was developed in the 1950s at the UC Citrus Experiment Station, but then escaped into public orchards. [1] [3] It is a yellow-orange fleshed tri-specific citrus hybrid between a 'Frua' hybrid mandarin ('Dancy' mandarin × 'King tangor') [4] and a Siamese Sweet pomelo. [3]
The collection is composed of over 1000 accessions, planted as two trees of each of various types of citrus and citrus relatives.

English: Diagram showing generation of spontaneous and engineered Citrus hybrids arising from pure founder species: examples selected from analogous chart in Curk et al, 2016, with addition from Swingle's original limequat report. Colors, shapes and relative sizes approximated from arbitrary selection of available images of species.
Citrus bergamia, the bergamot orange, is a fragrant citrus fruit the size of an orange, with a yellow or green colour similar to a lime, depending on ripeness.

Since the latter two species locate to different branches of the citrus phylogenetic tree, the group would be polyphyletic and not a valid division.
