Description

Orange is a tropical or semitropical, evergreen and small flowering tree. They are of two types- sweet and bitter. Tangerines are related varieties of oranges. The orange peel is made up of oil glands in pits. The interior flesh has segments called carpels, made up of fluid-filled vesicles, which are actually specialized hair cells. It is considered as hesperidium(a modified berry), because it has lots of speed and is soft and fleshy and is derived from a single ovary and covered with a rind, which is derived from the thickening of the ovary wall.
