Citrus Medica, Linn, (from Media whence the species first came to the notice of the ancient Greeks and Romans). Citron. Fig. 971. A shrub or small tree, with long irregular branches: thorns short, stout and stiff: lvs. rather pale green, large, oblong, 4-6 or 7 in. long and 1½-2 in. wide, bluntly rounded at the tip with serrate margins, not articulated with the petioles, which are wingless: fls. large, reddish tinted when in the bud, usually in terminal panicles, or clustered, in the axils of the lvs.; petals large, white above, reddish purple below; stamens numerous, 30-40 or more; ovary tapering gradually into the often persistent style: fr. large, oval or oblong, 6-10x4-6 in., bluntly apiculate, often rough or bumpy, lemon-yellow when ripe; skin very thick, fragrant; pulp scanty, acid; seeds oval, smooth, white inside.—The citron is very sensitive to cold because of its ability to grow at low temperatures, which causes it to start into a fresh and very tender growth after a few days of warm weather in winter. It is cult. in the Medit. region, especially in Corsica, whence large quantities of the peel are exported in brine to Amer. to be candied. The candied peel is much used in confectionery and in cakes. Sparingly cult. in Calif. and Fla. A number of ill-defined varieties are grown, the most important being the Corsican, intro. from Corsica in 1894 by David Fairchild. The Etrog or sacred Jewish citron is grown in Corfu. See Citron.<br />
