Clementine

This article is about the fruit. For other uses of the word clementine, see Clementine (disambiguation)

A clementine is the fruit of Citrus reticulata, and may be a cross between a mandarin orange and an orange created by the Algerian priest Pierre Clément in 1902. However, there are claims it originated in China much earlier. Clementines are sometimes mistaken for tangerines, but the clementine has a more easily removed skin, a sweeter fruit, and no seeds.

Like all fruits, "clementine" can also refer to the tree.
