Seeman, Bot. Voy. H. M. S. Herald, 1852-1857, pi. 82.—The Hongkong wild kumquat grows commonly on the dry hills about Hongkong and on the mainland of China opposite. It is the most primitive of the true citrous frs. and doubtless the species of Citrus have evolved from such a plant. Walter T. Swingle.
