 pinnate leaves, and 4 to 5 parted small white flowers in large terminal panicles.

 The wampi is a native of South China, where it is commonly grown for its 

 fruits. It is cultivated to some extent in Hawaii and California. It can be 

 grafted on grapefruit and other species of Citrus, which makes it desirable 

 to test it as a stock for common citrus fruits. (Adapted from Bailey, Standard 

 Cyclopedia of Horticulture, vol. 2, p. 786.)
