Citrus nobilis Lour.

Asm.: Janery-tenga. The king orange.

Probably a native of Cochinchina and cultivated in the Assam plains. Except for the aroma of the pulp juice the king orange much resembles the true mandarin orange (C. reticulata Blanco). This is believed to have originated as a chance hybrid between mandarin orange and sweet orange or pomelo.
