I live in NYC.

If you go into a shop and they have five different types of oranges you know you're in a very fancy place.

We have 5 different types of oranges at the shop but i think it's mostly because the shop owner is too lazy to keep them apart.

I'd need to study this for a few days before I could make a decision.

This is supposed to be a family tree chart of the mikan according to a comment on the reddit post.

Tangerines not oranges.

"Mikan" on its own typically refers to citrus unshiu, but it's also the name of a larger family of citruses that includes oranges (in fact, oranges are on the chart: of the four surrounding the big one in the middle, it's the one on the lower left). It's like how when you say "onion", you probably mean the bulbous vegetable with the papery skin, but "onions" also includes green onions, welsh onions, leeks etc.

What's with people not knowing they are different? Not the first time I'm seeing this

Looks like a typical aristocratic family tree, like the Hapsburgs or the Ptolemaic Egyptian dynasty
