The page identifies Osceola, lists no synonyms, and classifies it as Citrus reticulata. Its Origin and Description sections explicitly attribute historical narrative and additional cultivar notes to Hodgson (1967); image captions identify photographed material as Winter Haven, Florida without dates or accession IDs. This is secondary reference material.

16(2):110–120. The study includes Osceola scions on sour orange rootstock at Ramsar, Iran; fruit was collected in January 2014. Juice measurements and peel-oil chemistry are separate datasets. Table 4 prints ascorbic acid as 45.58%; preserve the unusual reported unit without conversion or use as a nutrition value. The article repeats parentage as background cited to Fotouhi & Fattahi (2007), not as a parentage test.
