About 1948, citrus specialists began to suggest that the grapefruit was not a sport of the pummelo but an accidental hybrid between the pummelo and the sweet orange.
When this new fruit was adopted into cultivation and the name grapefruit came into general circulation, American horticulturists viewed that title as so inappropriate that they endeavored to have it dropped in favor of "pomelo".
However, it was difficult to avoid confusion with the pummelo, and the name grapefruit prevailed, and is in international use except in Spanish-speaking areas where the fruit is called toronja.

A variety of the citrus family which is a hybrid, formed from a cross between the pomelo (citrus decumana) and the sweet orange and gained its name because it grows in grape-like clusters on the tree.
It was recognised as a separate species by around 1830 but did not enjoy a great deal of popularity in this country until the 1920’s when it became the fashion to start a meal with it, a trend introduced by the Americans.
The sweet orange, citrus sinensis, was brought to Europe from Ceylon by the Portuguese and, in around the mid-16th century, even sweeter varieties were introduced direct from China which gained favour in the orangerys of England.
