Yes Vijayasankar, >From your description and the name it is likely to be Citrus reticulataBlanco ' Kamala' The name கமலாப்பழம் is often found but only applied to the species Citrus reticulata Blanco. That's fair, however "Kamala" is a cultivar. One can see a parallel with the Mosambi story. A cultivar name is transferred to the species, and then other species for all sorts of twisted reasons. Here is what I have compiled. I leave it up to the experts in the group to cross out the wrong names and / or correct the spelling mistakes. *Citrus reticulata* Blanco '*Kamala*' ASSAMESE : Sumothira.
