Talk:Citrofortunella

Recreating page edit

Back in 2010, this page was moved into Citrus hybrid, which was in turn merged into Citrus taxonomy. That page became unwieldy and dated, and so has undergone a major revision, but the extensive listing of Citrofortunella no longer fits with the style of that page. For this reason I have decided to spin Citrofortunella back out. While there seems general agreement that kumquats are Citrus, rendering the name Citrofortunella an invalid genus name, but Citrofortunella still represent a sort of common name for the group, and there is a place for a page on this group, both for its own benefit and to move the awkward list out of the taxonomy article. If the name truly represents a deal-breaker, something descriptive like kumquat hybrids would work, but from a review of the literature, Citrofortunella seems still to be used, if only in a historical sense.
