Resembling the Minneola tangelo in a general way, the Yalaha has about the same season of maturity but is not quite so striking a fruit. With its slightly roughened rind it resembles the Thornton, but in character of pulp, especially in acidity, it suggests also the Sampson. The rind character indicates good shipping and keeping qualities, especially for the late market in March and April or even later. It has been given the Seminole Indian name of Yalaha (Ya-la'ha), from the town of that name in Lake County, Fla., where it has fruited for several seasons. Fruit of shape and size of small grapefruit, 3 1/2 inches in transverse diameter by 2 3/4 inches in vertical diameter ; calyx persistent, angular, set in slight depression with shallow radiating grooves in the rind; blossom end distinctly flattened with slight depression around pistil mark; color shading from orange (Ridgway, orange) at stem end to reddish orange (Ridgway, orange chrome) at blossom end; rind somewhat roughened and pebbly, in part due to large, deeply indented oil cells, of medium thick-ness ( three-sixteenths inch), rather large open core; numerous slender seeds (20 to 25), greenish in cross section; segments 8 to 10; pulp tender, juicy, with little rag, of pale amber color, translucent; flavor rather acid until fully ripe, but a good blending of sweetness and acidity when mature. Tree evergreen, vigorous, and productive ; leaves unifoliate, pointed oval with rounded base, resembling sweet-orange leaves, having narrow-winged petioles.
