Sapindales Tangerine (*Citrus reticulata deliciosa*)

Most species within the order Sapindales have pinnately compound leaves, where the leaflets are arranged along both sides of a central axis. While these are the most common, leaves may rarely be simple or palmately compound. Regarding their placement on the stem, the leaves are generally arranged alternately, with opposite or whorled arrangements occurring only rarely.1
