What is the difference between a satsuma, a tangerine, maderin and a clementine

[fideldyfee]

They were talking about this the other day in my office. I think they are just about all the same except they come from different places and have variations i.e. satsuma doesn't have seeds or something like that.

The Tangerine is a cross between the Mandarin orange and the bitter orange, and is named for the main mandarin shipment port of Tangier, Morocco. Today, tangerines are grown mainly in the southeastern United States.
Among the varieties of Tangerine are the Japanese Satsuma, a small, sweet, and mostly seedless variety. The Clementine, grown in Europe, North Africa, and Israel, is sold in markets under its own name. Tangerines are difficult to distinguish from clementines as both are mandarin�bitter orange hybrids; the main difference is that clementines are often seedless.
