Believed to be a natural hybrid of 'Clementine' and 'Dancy'.

Has good fruit quality, earliness, and peel-ability, but with tendency to alternate bear, small fruit size, and variable seediness. Possibly of interest in desert areas.

Season of ripeness at Riverside, California:  October to December.
