Meaning and background

The story behind Midknight

Midknight is the documented spelling of a Valencia-type orange in the University of California, Riverside’s citrus collection. Its record describes a South African selection associated with A. P. Knight’s property and discusses the fruit’s size, ripening, and near absence of seeds. This gives the spelling an exact horticultural association. It should not be silently corrected to Midnight or treated as proof of a traditional personal-name origin.
