Fruiting branch of a mandarin orange plant. The branch divides in two, the left twig is truncated and leafless, the right twig is slender and has alternate elliptic leaves, with golden alternate veins, entire margins. At the end of the twig, two fruits, one smaller in size, globular in shape and green in colour (immature), the second one larger and bright orange. The skin of the fruit is dotted in darker colour, ridges appear vertically along the fruit. Lower right: dissected view of the flower showing five sets of three stamens each, with white filaments and yellow anthers; five oblong white petals with darker veins, the pedicel with the pistil.
Any further details: Pencil underdrawings slightly visible; moreover pencil sketches of an unpainted whole fruit are visible on the lower right. The same plant is depicted in a different format in NHD52/13.
