Tangerine

Scientific Name of Plant
Citrus reticulata

Description
A thin-skinned citrus fruit, interchangably referred to as a tangerine or mandarin orange, that is typically small in size with a flattened oval shape and a bright orange coloring. Both the tangerine and the mandarin come from the mandarin family of fruits, so all tangerines are classified as a type of mandarin orange. However, not all mandarin oranges are tangerines. The primary difference between the two species is their skin color. The tangerine has a darker reddish orange skin and the mandarin is lighter orange in color. The tangerine is the most common mandarin orange available.
