UCR also has something about Milam being related to volckameriana. Is that the same as Volkamer Lemon?:QuoteThis species exhibits a remarkable range of variation in fruit characters, and in India, where it is native, four relatively distinct types are recognized, one of which is similar to the form obtained from Italy known as C. volckameriana (for description see Chapot, 1965a). There is also a sweet-fleshed form.

Volkameriana is Volkamer lemon. Millam and Volkamer are listed as different varieties in the citrus rootstock ID book that I have access to, but the UCR link you posted says that they have the same parentage (sour orange x citron). The leaves and other tree charicteristics look very similar in the photos that I looked at. Actually, the leaves are virtually identical in shape. One does tend to be slightly larger than the other, but I doubt that you could tell the difference in the field based on that. The most obvious difference that I could find was the seed count. However, since we are almost certainly talking about a seed grown tree, there is always the chance that it does not fit one mold or the other perfectly. Here is the link for the ID book I have at work. I was surprised to see that it was available for free on-line.

Dont wanna break the law thanks for your help
Manhattan is an island.North and South America together is one big island. Containment has a lot to do with governments acting swiftly and decisively, the population responding properly and having a decent public health system. If the actions fly in the face of personal freedoms then some places are more exposed culturally. The quality of leadership in some places where covid has run riot is questionable also. There are a few places that better have people planting vegies right now because they are in for a long haul but not everywhere.
If immunity is gained by getting it and then recovering it will still be a small proportion of the pop of all countries. It is hard to know why containment is so much harder in some places than others.
There are only 5 active cases in my state and none in my city thank goodness and over a million tests have been done. I guess it isn't post covid living everywhere as it has to play out in a few places yet and there could always be a resurgence. Many fruit fans are keen for international travel to be normal again.
Im a registered libertarian and dont give a care what anyones politics are. All thats important is that the mail arrives on time. Ive got 2 internet businesses and ship 5-10 packages a week. The packages are arriving late, its not a political hoax. People get a banana plant or box of fruit 8 days later its no good for business. What am I supposed to do, make them eat the cost or me eat the cost?
It is looking like it is politics by the peopple who say packages are delayed. Not what is actually happening.
Okay I wasn't going to go deeper into this but I will try to keep people more informed without getting to into my own beliefs
