Procimequat

{{Short description|Citrus fruit and plant}}

Procimequat is a triploid citrus hybrid or transgeneric hybrid, (Citrus aurantifolia 'Mexican' x Fortunella japonica) x Fortunella hindsii, in which the limequat that itself is a cross between lime and a round kumquat, was backcrossed with the primitive Hong Kong kumquat.

The tiny fruits are orange in color, and about the size of a marble.{{cite web|url=http://www.woodlanders.net/index.cfm?fuseaction=plants.plantDetail&plant_id=973|title=Citrus (X Citrus) Fortunella hindsii x ('Eustis' Limequat) Procimequat Procimequat from Woodlanders, Inc.|work=woodlanders.net}} Like some kumquats, it is eaten entirely, including the peel. It tastes like a combination of lemon, orange and celery.{{cite web|url=http://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=3346.0|title=Procimequat "A very interesting and complex hybrid"|publisher=Tropical Fruit Forum}}

Despite being triploid, the procimequat does produce seeds, which are nucellar[http://www.citrusvariety.ucr.edu/citrus/procimequat.html Procimequat] at Citrus Variety Collection website. and thus produce plants identical to the parent, independent of the pollen source.
