The mandarinquat, also misleadingly called orangequat,^[1] is any cross between a mandarin and a kumquat (Fortunella crassifolia). Mandarinquats are members of the citrofortunella group.

The variety Nippon orangequat was first introduced in 1932 by Dr. Eugene May of the USDA^[2] as a hybrid between the Meiwa kumquat and the Satsuma mandarin. A second variety, the Indio mandarinquat, was discovered as an open-pollinated seedling from a Nagami kumquat with an unknown pollen parent.^[3]

^ "Kumquats and Kumquat hybrids". The name "Orangequat" originally given to this class of hybrid is misleading since its parentage involves a mandarin rather than an orange.
