The Greek citron variety of Citrus medica (Greek: κιτριά, Hebrew: אתרוג קורפו or יְוָנִי) was botanically classified by Adolf Engler as the "variety etrog"[citation needed]. This refers to its major use for the Jewish ritual etrog during Sukkot.[1][2]
It was also called pitima, or the cedro col pigolo ("citron with a pitom"), because of its usually persistent pitom (carpel).[3] The last not only enhances its character, but also adds Halachic promotion.
