What kind of fruit trees grow in punta gorda florida?
I love the name Puncta Gorda. In the US, you might have some idea of how that name got to be. The Spanish don't have names for the many different varieties of citrus. Just one kind. Citrus sinensis. The name is short for Citrus medica limonum. I can't understand why they would have named a fruit called Citrus limonum. Wouldn't it be more efficient to have a standard name for different citrus fruit varieties? Maybe, but the Spanish like using a full name and an abbreviation. For example, some people don't like the word "orange" and call an orange any orange. The real orange is Valencia. I think Citrus medica is a name for any orange in the family, but they wouldn't know that. Maybe it's short for citrus medica limonum, which would be a real orange with an acid content of between 1.5 and 3 percent.
The punctic acid, the substance that gives the fruit its bitter taste, is a chemical compound made up of two molecules of citric acid linked together. The fruit grows in a bunch. A bunch is the Spanish word for the word bunch. A citrus plant grows many fruits or drupes on each of the branches.
The bitter compound punctic acid does not appear to be present in a large part of the world, the USA included. The fruit has a bitter taste that appears when the fruit is first harvested, a few days after being picked.
A fruit is either sweet or sour, depending on the amount of citric acid. The sour orange is the variety that has almost no citric acid. I think of the term bitter orange in English. That would have been "Citrus limonum medica" in Latin. In Spanish, there's not a standard for spelling.
This was all I could find on Puncta Gorda. Maybe you'll find something useful here.
This was also from Puncta Gorda or Puncta Granella http://www.botanical.org/carlitos/ORANGE/ORANGE-3.HTM
They are all Citrus medica. The botanical name is Citrus medica L. The specific taxonomy is Citrus medica L. limonum. As this is the most common use for the name, it may be used as a synonym for this botanical name.
The species also contains the common names sour orange, Seville orange, bitter orange, Cachaca and Citron, but these names also belong to Citrus medica. The Latin name also allows the name to be abbreviated to Citrus medica. This seems to be the botanical common name for bitter orange. This is the name of the variety that was grown in northern Europe in the sixteenth century.
