Exploiting the local varieties and introducing good varieties from abroad further enriched or varieties in China, citrus experts in different areas of China under the organization of Chinese Society of Citriculture have taken 4 years to take photos of the cultivars with camera under the same standard to compile this book. It is the achievement of their hard work. The book includes more than 100 cultivars or varieties which is commercially cultivated or used. The book has true-to-type color and uniform pictures with brief introduction to each cultivar both in Chinese and English; it is knowledgeable as a reference book.
