*Mandarins* and *tangerines* are synonomous. Satsuma and clementine are just
varieties of mandarins.


I think the actual usage (how the words are used in stores)
varies all over the place, though. Makes it very confusing.

It is also misleading; maybe accidentally on purpose. As far as I am
concerned, the satsuma mandarin is the best citrus there is. I think other
varieties have been pushed on me as satsuma. The problem with them is that
their season is very short.
