FRENCH : Mandarine Ponkan, Mandarine Ponkan de Formose, Mandarine Suntara, Mandarine Suntara de l'Inde. HINDI : Nagpur suntara, Nangpur suntara. JAPANESE : ポンカン Ponkan, 椪柑 Ponkan. TAGALOG : Batangas. VIETNAMESE : Cam ngọt Trung Quốc. Bolded names are the preferred names. See our note on Jiao & Lu mandarins. Strangely, given that this is a well known Chinese cultivar, the latest taxonomy appears to favour the botanical Citrus reticulata Blanco 'Ponkan' which is base on the romanised Japanese name. It does however, by association, link it to the Hindi name "Suntara". We still have to determine if "Suntara" = "Nagpur suntara". After the Chinese brainstorm we have an Indian brainstorm to initiate. That should give us a number of Indian names.
