citron, citron tree, Citrus medicanoun
thorny evergreen small tree or shrub of India widely cultivated for its large lemonlike fruits that have thick warty rind
Samuel Johnson's Dictionary
Citron-treenoun
It hath broad stiff leaves, like those of the laurel. The flowers consist of many leaves, expanded like a rose: the cup of the flower is slender and fleshy, and is divided into five segments at the top. The pistil becomes an oblong, thick, fleshy fruit, which is very full of juice, and contains several hard seeds. Genoa is the great nursery of Europe for these sorts of trees. One sort, with a pointed fruit, is in so great esteem, that the single fruits are sold at Florence for two shillings each. This fruit is not to be had in perfection in any part of Italy, but the plain between Pisa and Leghorn. Philip Miller
Etymology: from citrus, Latin.
