Genome resource reviewed against the CGD assembly record and existing variety identity. Cupi Majiayou is a sequenced Citrus maxima cultivar, distinct from Mato Buntan Pummelo. This is a pummelo species reference for comparison; its fruit chemistry and other traits should not be assigned to this cultivar.

Robert Willard Hodgson · University of California, Division of Agricultural Sciences, Berkeley · 1967
Hodgson reports Mato as the seed parent of Tanikawa Buntan and says Sanbôkan is presumed to be the pollen parent. His descriptions of greater vigor, upright growth, cold response, thinner rind, flesh, and later maturity refer to Tanikawa, not Mato. The historical relationship is not accession-specific genetic confirmation.

Relevant reply by hoosierquilt (also signs Patty S.) in the thread started by charleslou23. The displayed post date is relative only (“12 years ago”); no exact date is available. The poster reports having Mato Buntan and gives a relative firmness comparison; the profile's Vista, California area is not proof of the specimen's growing site or accession.

In a reply dated 18 March 2018, Scott 10 reports four pomelo trees and says one is a Mato Buntan grown from seed three years earlier that had not yet fruited. This is a grower’s label for one seed-grown tree, not accession-confirmed cultivar identity. The seed parent, rootstock, seed source, and exact planting date are unspecified. The later 2022 request for cuttings does not confirm a transfer or subsequent outcome.

Citrus ID Edition 2, dated October 2011 (month precision); no individual author is displayed. The profile lists Mato Buntan among the synonyms and provides coded, general morphology for foliage, tree and fruit, without identifying a sampled accession, rootstock, site, date, method or sample size. Its historical origin and Tanikawa parentage sections explicitly attribute those accounts to Hodgson (1967), duplicating source #3 rather than providing independent evidence. Do not equate its generic descriptors or Riverside image labels with UCR CRC 3945.

J-STAGE record for the same paper as supplied DOI 10.1080/00021369.1990.10870025; J-STAGE DOI 10.1271/bbb1961.54.803, 54(3):803–805. The sample list identifies “C. grandis Osbeck forma Mato (Mato buntan),” not a CRC accession or named tree. Methods report field-grown pummelos harvested in mid-to-late December 1988 at Kochi Fruit Tree Experimental Station and GC analysis of cold-pressed-oil volatile composition. Tabulated values are CPO weight percentages and triplicate analytical means, not evidence of three independent Mato trees or fruit lots. The paper's Taiwan-origin statement is not supported by an identified accession or primary provenance; it provides no sensory/taste result and does not establish a match to UCR CRC 3945.
