Greek citron

Variety Etrog
Species	Citrus medica

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.
