History

The 1923 account identifies Swingle, its senior author, with the 1909 lime–kumquat breeding work; it places the crossing series in F. W. Savage’s Eustis grove.

Provided the Eustis citrus grove in which the original cross was made.

Evaluated and retained the fruiting hybrid as a distinct limequat cultivar.

Maintained and evaluated the hybrid through its juvenile period and first fruiting.

Swingle coauthored the 1923 report in which the authors proposed ‘Eustis limequat’ because the original cross was made at Eustis. This credit denotes participation in the published naming proposal; it does not establish a separate 1913 naming date or sole coining.

Swingle and Robinson’s 1923 article describes Eustis limequat, proposes its name, and presents the authors’ home-garden assessment. This credit refers to introduction in print, not proof of a separate nursery release or sole introduction.

Collaborated in evaluation and coauthored the detailed 1923 horticultural description.

Federal institution responsible for the breeding program and public introduction of Eustis Limequat.
