The opening as it read in 2010
Moroccan sweet citron ( ) was first described in detail by Professor Henri Chapot, in his article named Un curieux cedrat Marocain which he published in year 1950. He found that the acidity in the more common citrons or lemons , is represented by violet pigmentation on the outer side of the flower blossom, and also the new buds are reddish-purplish. The Moroccan citron which is acidless, and is sometimes used as a replacement for the Corsican citron , is completely lacking the red colour. This designation was also cited by Webber and Batchelor the editors of the fundamental treatise on citrus , namely The Citrus Industry , which was published by the University of California, Riverside in year 1967.
