Malum Sinense
Arbor fructifera malus Sinensis fructusque malum Sinense sunt grex cultivarietatum (nomine Anglico Sweet Orange group) speciei hybridae Citrus × aurantium. Arbor, ut nomen indicat, e Sinis orta est. Ad genus citrorum pertinet.

Grex cultivarietatum iam diu recognita est ut species seu hybrida Citrus × sinensis, nomen quod sub forma binominis specialis anno 1765 statuit Petrus Osbeck, post Carolum Linnaeum, qui anno 1753 ut varietas accepit C. aurantium var. sinensis.

Malus Sinensis iam saeculo XII exeunte in Europa crescebat, videlicet in monasterio Argyron Constantinopolitanum: ibi pruinis interfecta est si credere possumus epigramma Theodori Balsamonis.
