According to Root, it appeared in Jamaica about 200 years ago and its origin
is unknown. There are two theories on its origin. First, that it is a
natural cross between two other citrus species or that it is a mutation,
probably of the pummelo or pomelo. It was accepted as a separate species of
citrus in 1830.
