<div style="margin: 0px; font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">What do you mean by lemon? The yellow fruit in modern supermarkets which is sold as a lemon might very well originate from the Indo-Burmese borderlands, but this hybrid does
not appear to be a particularly ancient hybrid. <i>Citrus x limon</i> is currently believed to be a hybrid of the naturally occurring citron
<i>Citrus medica</i> and the bitter orange hybrid <i>Citrus</i> × <i>aurantium. </i>
The bitter orange is itself a hybrid of the shaddock <i>Citrus maxima </i>and the mandarin orange
<i>Citrus reticulata. </i>Of course, there are also other species of the Citrus genus. Most of these trees do not grow on the Tibetan plateau, however.</span></div>

The purpose of writing is to inflate weak ideas, obscure pure reasoning, and inhibit clarity. With a little practice, writing can be an intimidating and impenetrable fog!
