Kumquats are a group of small fruit-bearing trees in the flowering plant family Rutaceae. They were classified as forming the now-historical genus Fortunella, or placed within Citrus sensu lato; the edible fruit resembles the orange in color and shape but is much smaller, being the size of a large olive. Kumquat is a cold-hardy citrus; the English name "kumquat" derives from the Cantonese gām-gwāt meaning "golden orange" or "golden tangerine". The kumquat plant is native to China.. The earliest historical reference to kumquats appears in Imperial literature from the 12th century, they have long been cultivated in India, Taiwan, the Philippines, Southeast Asia. They were introduced to Europe in 1846 by Robert Fortune, collector for the London Horticultural Society, shortly thereafter were taken to North America, they are slow-growing evergreen shrubs or short trees that stand 2.5 to 4.5 meters tall, with dense branches, sometimes bearing small thorns. The leaves are dark glossy green, the flowers are white, similar to other citrus flowers, can be borne singly or clustered within the leaves' axils.

Depending on size, the kumquat tree can produce hundreds or thousands of fruits each year. Citrus taxonomy is controversial. Different systems place different types of kumquat in different species, or unite them into as few as two species, they were viewed as falling within the genus Citrus, but the Swingle system of citrus taxonomy elevated them to their own genus, Fortunella. Recent phylogenetic analysis suggests. Swingle divided the kumquats into two subgenera, the Protocitrus, containing the primitive Hong Kong kumquat, Eufortunella, comprising the round, oval kumquat, Meiwa kumquats, to which Tanaka added two others, the Malayan kumquat and the Jiangsu kumquat. Chromosomal analysis suggested that Swingle's Eufortunella represent a single'true' species, while Tanaka's additional species were revealed to be hybrids of Fortunella with other Citrus, so-called Citrofortunella. Recent genomic analysis concluded there was only one true species of kumquat, but the analysis did not include the Hong Kong variety seen as a distinct species in all earlier analyses.

The round kumquat, Marumi kumquat or Morgani kumquat, is an evergreen tree that produces edible golden-yellow fruit. The fruit is small and spherical but can be oval shaped; the peel has a sweet flavor. The fruit can be eaten cooked but is used to make marmalades and other spreads, it can be used in bonsai cultivation. The plant symbolizes good luck in China and other Asian countries, where it is kept as a houseplant and given as a gift during the Lunar New Year. Round kumquats are more cultivated than other species due to their high cold tolerance; the oval kumquat or Nagami kumquat is ovoid in shape and eaten whole and all. The inside is still quite sour, but the skin has a sweet flavour, so when eaten together an unusual tart-sweet, refreshing flavour is produced; the fruit ripens mid- to late winter and always crops heavily, creating a spectacular display against the dark green foliage. The tree tends to be much smaller and dwarf in nature, making it ideal for pots and bonsai cultivation. The'Centennial Variegated' kumquat cultivar arose spontaneously from the oval kumquat.

It produces a greater proportion of fruit to peel than the oval kumquat, the fruit are rounder and sometimes necked. Fruit are distinguishable by their variegation in color, exhibiting bright green and yellow stripes, by its lack of thorns; the Meiwa kumquat was brought to Japan from China at the end of the 19th century, it has seedy oval fruits and thick leaves, was characterized as a different species by Swingle. Its fruit is eaten skin and all; the Hong Kong kumquat produces only pea-sized bitter and acidic fruit with little pulp and large seeds. It is grown as an ornamental plant, though it is found in southern China growing in the wild. Not only is it the most primitive of the kumquats, but with the kumquats being the most primitive citrus, Swingle described it as the closest to the ancestral species from which all citrus evolved. While the wild Hong Kong kumquat is tetraploid, there is a commercial diploid variety, the Golden Bean kumquat with larger fruit; the Jiangsu kumquat or Fukushu kumquat bears edible fruit that can be eaten raw, as well as made into jelly and marmalade.

The fruit can be round or bell-shaped and is bright orange when ripe. The plant can be distinguished from other kumquats by its distinctly round leaves, it is grown for its edible fruit and as an ornamental plant, but cannot withstand frost like the round kumquat. These kumquats are seen near the Yuvraj section of the Nayak Province. Chromosomal analysis showed this variety to be a hybrid; the Malayan kumquat, from the Malay Peninsula where it is known as the "hedge lime", is another hybrid a limequat. It has a thin peel on larger fruit compared to other kumquats. Kumquats are much hardier than citrus plants such as oranges; the Nagami kumquat requires a hot summer, ranging fr

IntercomPlus is the Walgreen Company's proprietary pharmacy computer system. It was founded as Intercom in 1981, was the first large scale retail pharmacy computer system, it relies on VSAT satellite access and/or broadband connections to link the over 8,000 Walgreens retail, mail service, specialty pharmacies. Through its usage, Intercom made Walgreens the largest private user of satellite transmission data in the world, second only to the U. S. Government; the design of the system enables seamless store-to-store prescription filling, making filling a refill at a location other than where it was filled essentially no different from filling it again at the original location. IC+ is written in Team Developer, from Unify, comprises the following applications: TeamRX Pharmacy Management Laser Printer/Thermal Printer Settings Strategic Inventory Management System StoreNet/RXNet Scale Sign On Consultation RX Savings Advisor Corporate E-Mail Server RX Compliance AdvisorIntercom Plus is being improved for maximum accuracy and performance.

This application is the core of IC+. Paper prescriptions are scanned; the scanned image can be sent to other Walgreens locations through DWB or POWER for various purposes. The paper prescription is kept on file per local or state laws. In certain states, the computerized image serves as the legal copy of the prescription and the original paper hard copy becomes the Third Party Audit Record. After the patient and prescriber information has been entered, the prescription is double checked to ensure the information was entered accurately. Intercom Plus's Automatic Label Printing System program generates a leaflet for the prescription; the technician scans the leaflet on a Check-weigh Scale and the system generates a vial label for the prescription after the system performs a National Drug Code validation via scanner. The vial label is placed appropriately sized container for the prescription; the system automatically checks the patient's current medication list for any potential drug interactions via Drug Utilization Reviews.

Intercom Plus is used to refill prescriptions and lookup patient records from any Walgreens nationwide. The work queue is used to view entered, printed and ready prescriptions, it is a searchable database containing all active prescriptions for the store. Pharmacy Management is used to change drug locations, lookup pharmacy staff information, generate reports, complete miscellaneous tasks, it features "dial a pharmacist" which allows a pharmacy team member to call a pharmacist signed on to IC+ at another location in order to provide care to patients who speak another language. This application serves as the store's inventory mainframe. Using this program, pharmacy staff members can verify counts of various items and serves as the proprietary software for receiving and distribution within the company; this is the web interface used by the Walgreen Corporate Staff to interact with Store and District Personnel.
