Mandora is a crater on Mars at 12.3N 53.7W. It is 59.4 km in diameter, and is named after the locality of Mandora in Western Australia.
A mandora is a cross of mandarin and orange, grown on Cyprus.
It is easily mistaken for a clementine, but its skin is tougher and the fruit contains seeds. The taste is more acidic than the clementine's.
The fruit's appearance looks much like an orange, with a rough orange outside and a juicy, seedy inside. It is tougher to peel than a clementine.
The season of the mandora is from January to April.
