    The research results show that: ( 1 ) According to the evidence of morphology, palynology and molecular biology, kumquat and citrus are closely related, and they overlap in morphological, palynological and molecular biological characteristi.


     

    In this study, golden beans and mandarin oranges were moved to the genus Citrus as independent species, and new combined names of these two species were propose.


     

    ( 1 ) Golden Bean Citrus venosa (Cha.
