Citrus margarita, the oval kumquat or Nagami kumquat,[4][5] is a species or of kumquat;[1] a type of citrus fruit in the genus Citrus, family Rutaceae.
The Portuguese botanist João de Loureiro described the plant in 1790 in his Flora cochinchinensis under the name Citrus margarita.[6] The first description by the American botanist Walter Tennyson Swingle, was published in 1915, as varieties of Citrus japonica.[7] Howerver, recent phylogenetic analysis suggested that C. margarita is a single 'true' species.[2][1][8]
