Citrus

General characteristics

The species of the kind Citrus are trees or shrubs, with generally simple and persistent sheets. Certain species carry spines axillaires. The petiole of the sheets is often winged.

The flowers, grouped in small bunches, sometimes solitary, have a formed corolla from 4 to 5 generally white petals. Cheesecloths, very many, are often welded in beams by their nets.

The fruit, very characteristic, is a particular bay, wrapped of a bark sometimes very thick, the peel, and formed by the meeting from 10 to 15 carpelles, forming as many “sections” whose pulp, formed of fleshy hairs, often more or less acid and is sweetened or bitter.

The sheets and the flowers carry glands producing a Huile essential with characteristic odor suave.
