Orange: Bergamot orange: Citrus bergamia: 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.

Yuzu (Citrus × junos, from Japanese 柚子 or ユズ; / ˈ j uː z uː / ⓘ) is a citrus fruit and plant in the family Rutaceae of Chinese origin. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Yuzu has been cultivated mainly in East Asia, though it has also recently been grown in New Zealand , Australia , Spain , Italy , and France .
The leaves are 7–15 centimetres (3–6 inches) long, and are oblong in shape with brown-hairy petioles2 cm (3 ⁄ 4 in) in length. [1] They are leathery and glossy on the upper surface, brown and silky underneath. [1] The leaves are deciduous and bluish-green in color. In autumn, they turn to yellow, orange, or red. [1]
Citrus medica is a slow-growing shrub or small tree that reaches a height of about 8 to 15 ft (2 to 5 m). It has irregular straggling branches and stiff twigs and long spines at the leaf axils. The evergreen leaves are green and lemon-scented with slightly serrate edges, ovate-lanceolate or ovate elliptic 2.5 to 7.0 inches long.
Their color is orange, yellow-orange, or red-orange. [5] The skin is thin and peels off easily. [3] Their easiness to peel is an important advantage of mandarin oranges over other citrus fruits. [5] Just like with other citrus fruits, mandarin is separated easily from the segments. [3] The fruits may be seedless or contain a small number of seeds.
The leaves have four elliptic leaflets which are 5–12.5 cm (2.0–4.9 in) long and 2.5–5 cm (0.98–1.97 in) wide. They are typically dioecious plants, though autogamous trees occur from time to time.
The generic name Citrus originates from Latin, where it denoted either the citron (C. medica) or a conifer tree . The Latin word is related to the ancient Greek word for the cedar of Lebanon, κέδρος (kédros), perhaps from a perceived similarity of the smell of citrus leaves and fruit with that of cedar. [24]

The specific name for this species of nightshade means "from Quito." [4]
