Marjoram (Origanum majorana, syn. Majorana hortensis Moench, Majorana majorana (L.) H. Karst) is a somewhat cold-sensitive perennial herb or undershrub with sweet pine and citrus flavors. In some Middle-Eastern countries, marjoram is synonymous with oregano, and there the names sweet marjoram and knotted marjoram are used to distinguish it from other plants of the genus Origanum.
The pomelo (Citrus maxima or Citrus grandis), pummelo, pommelo, or shaddock is a crisp citrus fruit native to South and Southeast Asia.

It is the largest citrus fruit, 15–25 centimetres ( ) in diameter, and usually weighing 1–2 kilograms ( ).
