De Fleur - (Citrus aurantium)
This is a special variety of bitter orange. The flowers are

in the perfume and food industry and is also used in Aromatherapy
treatments. The fruits are similar in shape and size to satsumas,
very juicy, rather lacking in flavour but with a slightly bitter
taste. The leaves of these orange trees tend to hang down, not
up, and have a rippled or ribbed effect.

some of which forms the basis of perfumes and are also used
in Aromatherapy treatments. Bergamot oil is sometimes used to
