Dimicelli
(Dimicilli) is a tangerine—like hybrid involving trifoliate with a confusing origin (either Clementine × Trifoliate, or (Trifoliate × Temple) × Clementine).
Origin
It was received by Dr. John Brown. According to Brown's article The Hardy Citrus of Texas, this is one of his Ciliates (Clementine = P. trifoliata). But there are doubts about the correctness of this origin, since Dimichelli have almost monolithic foliage, and trifoliate hybrids in the first generation usually have triple leaves. According to information from the Hardy Citrus blog, in his personal correspondence, D. Brown called Dimicelli a hybrid of a Cythample and a Clementine (that is, Clementine × [Tample × P. trifoliata]), which is more consistent with the morphology of this hybrid.
According to D. Brown, Dimicelli is hardy up to about 5°F (-15°C), which is confirmed by Gaylor Ventura, whose Dimicelli survived the winter of 2013/14 at such a temperature (5-6°F).
