1. Yes Santra is C. reticulata, but Kinnow is a hybrid of 'King' (*Citrus nobilis <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citrus_nobilis>*) × 'Willow Leaf' (*Citrus × deliciosa <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citrus_%C3%97_deliciosa>*) and be correctly be written as Citrus nobilis x Citrus deliciosa, sometimes cited as C. reticulata, but this does not sound good especially when both parents are well recognised species, it can't be placed under third C. reticulata https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinnow 2. Khatta/Khatti should be C. jhambiri also placed as *Citrus sinensis* subsp. *jambhiri* (Lush.) Engl. <https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Engler> *Citrus aurantium* subsp. *jambhiri* Engl. <https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Engler>, but now *Citrus taitensis * *https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citrus_taitensis <https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citrus_taitensis>* 3. C. aurantifolia I hope is Kagzi nimbu, Mitha or Meetha should be C. limetta, sometimes placed as Citrus × limon (L.) Osbeck 'Limetta' 4. Galgal is Citrus pseudolimon 5. Chakotra is Citrus grandis (syn: Citrus maxima). 6.Malta is Citrus sinensis, yes 7.
