Clementine

What is a Clementine?

A clementine is the hesperidium of a variety of mandarin orange (Citrus reticulata), named in 1902. [1]


History

The traditional story is that it was "originally an accidental hybrid said to have been discovered by Father Clément Rodier in the garden of his orphanage in Misserghin, Algeria." However, there are claims it originated in China much earlier. James Saunt has commented that "Some authorities believe it is virtually identical to the variety known as the Canton mandarin widely grown in Guangxi and Guangdong Provinces in China." [1]
