				| It could be clementines from Corsica. They are always sold this way, with at least two leaves.  |  |

				| Of all the clementine varieties, the Fina Sodea Clementine is the variety that  produces long rather narrow leaves. Reminds me of a Willow leaf.  The fruit in serj's picture sure looks like a Fina Sodea Clementine. - Millet (369 ABO-)  |  |

				| I can hardly believe, that someone can just look at the fruit and say which kind of clementine it is.  Some differs only about time of ripening. Best way is- if you bought it in shop, just go back to the shop and look at the original box, there is often label with variety name.  |  |

				| The leaf of a Fina Sodia Clementine (I have a 7 year old Fina Sodiia), has the general shape of a willow leaf, but the Fina Sodea's leaf is a litter wider than a willow tree's leaf.  All other clementines, I believe, have, more or less, the general mandarin shape. - Millet (369 ABO-)  |  |

				| On the box was written only "Italian clementine (mandarine)". I don't remember if mandarine or clementine.  |  |
