 Subtrop Overview
The fruits set abundantly even on small young plants and are small and subglobose, much like those of Fortunella Hindisii but a little larger and a much paler orange in color when ripe.
These fruits are not seedless, as was expected, but produce some nucellar bud embryos, as do many citranges after the development of the ovules has been stimulated by pollination.
The procimequat is in reality intermediate between a true bigeneric back-cross and a trigeneric hybrid, because Fortunella Hindisii belongs to a subgenus, Protocitrus, with many important taxonomic characters separating it from the true Fortunella species placed in the subgenus Eufortunella.

 Monoembryonic Procimequat Makes New Poncirus Hybrids - Citrus Forum - GardenWeb
This very interesting complex hybrid, which has a triploid chromosome number, is the result of a carefully safeguarded cross-pollination of the Eustis limequat with Fortunella hindsii, a tetraploid species made by Eugene May and the writer expressly to obtain a triploid hybrid.
This hybrid is interesting because it throws light on bigeneric Fortunella X Citrus back-crosses such as are possibly represented by the Malayan hedge lime discussed.
