Native to China, India
One of the most widely favored of the world's fruits, the orange, sweet orange,
or round orange, was for many years known as Citrus aurantium var. sinensis
L. and considered to be a form of the sour orange (q.v.). It is still not
universally agreed to be a distinct species, C. sinensis Osbeck, but it is usually
treated as though it were. One of its first recorded regional names was the
Persian narang, from which were derived the Spanish name, naranja, and the
Portuguese, laranja. In some Caribbean and Latin American areas, the fruit is
called naranja de China, China dulce, or simply China (pronounced cheena).
