Macfadyen identified two varieties – one called forbidden fruit, the other called Barbadoes Grape Fruit. In 1830, the Jamaican version of the plant was given the botanical name Citrus paradisi by botanist James Macfadyen. After this, authors of the period used both terms forbidden fruit and grapefruit as synonyms. An alternative explanation offered by Tussac (1824) is that this name may allude to clusters of the fruit on the tree, which often appear similar to bunches of grapes. Lunan reported that the name was due to its similarity in taste to the grape ( Vitis vinifera). In 1814, naturalist John Lunan published the term grapefruit to describe a similar Jamaican citrus plant.
However, Hughes's forbidden fruit may have been a plant distinct from grapefruit although still closely related to it. Griffith Hughes, who described specimens from Barbados in The Natural History of Barbados. Description from Hughes' 1750 Natural History of BarbadosĪ hybrid fruit, called forbidden fruit, was first documented in 1750 (along with 14 other citrus fruits including the guiney orange) by a Welshman, Rev.

The grapefruit then probably originated as a naturally occurring hybrid between the two plants some time after they had been introduced there. This apparently referred to a captain who traded in the West Indies in the 17th century. One story of the fruit's origin is that a certain "Captain Shaddock" brought pomelo seeds to Jamaica and bred the first fruit, which were then called shaddocks. maxima were present in the West Indies by 1692. One ancestor of the grapefruit was the Jamaican sweet orange ( Citrus sinensis), itself an ancient hybrid of Asian origin the other was the Indonesian pomelo ( C. Grapefruit originated as a natural hybrid. 'Ruby Red' (of the 'Redblush' variety) was the first grapefruit patent. Its flesh is segmented and acidic, varying in color depending on the cultivars, which include white, pink, and red pulps of varying sweetness (generally, the redder varieties are the sweetest). The fruit is yellow-orange skinned and generally an oblate spheroid in shape it ranges in diameter from 10 to 15 cm (3.9 to 5.9 in). They produce 5 cm (2 in) white four-petaled flowers. The leaves are long (up to 15 cm (5.9 in)), thin, glossy, and dark green. The evergreen grapefruit trees usually grow to around 5–6 m (16–20 ft) tall, although they may reach 13–15 m (43–49 ft).
