or are the common names for a small sized variety of Japanese citrus, whose rind is of a characteristic "golden" bright yellow color. The variety has been published as the species ''Citrus flaviculpus'' by Chōzaburō Tanaka in his 160-species scheme, but this is considered an effort of a "splitter," as opposed to Swingle's classification system which is generally preferred in the West. Alternate spellings (romanizations) include "Ougonkan"〔 or "Ogon-kan".〔 It has also been called "Golden orange" in Kanagawa Prefecture. == History == The variety has long been known in Kagoshima Prefecture as but, precise origins are unknown.〔.
