(C sinensis X C. paradisi). Apparently a natural cross which was developed 

 from a nucellar embryo because there is very little, if any, difference between the 

 parent and the seedlings. Fruits are borne singly, on ends of branches and 

 compare in size with grapefruit, shape globose to pyriform; rind much like a 

 grapefruit in aroma and color. The inner white pulp is not bitter; segments 

 nine to eleven, adhere only slightly to the rind. The mild-flavored sweet juice 

 is neither acid nor bitter but combines the flavor of the orange and grapefruit.
