Green Tangerine Dried Bark (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium)

Description

Green Tangerine Peel Bark

Green Tangerine Peel refers to the dried bark material classified under the pharmacopoeial name Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, a designation tied to the peel of immature tangerine citrus fruits. The material is presented as a dried bark form, recognized in traditional botanical systems for its distinct citrus origin and structured peel composition.

Dried Bark Appearance & Texture

The dried bark pieces have a firm, rigid surface with a slightly wrinkled, textured outer layer that carries a muted green to brownish-green hue. The inner surface shows a paler, porous pith layer, and the pieces hold a rigid, curved shape that reflects the natural contour of the tangerine peel.

Botanical Background

Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium is the official pharmacopoeial term for the dried peel of Citrus reticulata and its related citrus varieties, placing Green Tangerine Peel within the Rutaceae (citrus) plant family. This classification distinguishes the immature green peel form from other citrus peel preparations used in traditional botanical collections.

Botanical Collection Applications

Green Tangerine Peel bark serves as a botanical reference material for plant science study and traditional herbalism collections. Its distinct citrus structure and pharmacopoeial classification make it suitable for botanical specimen displays and comparative plant material research.

Storage & Care

Store in a clean, airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Proper storage helps preserve texture, aroma, and overall quality over time.
