In addition to Wordsmith's long list, there are "mandarin oranges" ordinarily available only canned, small segments in sweet liquid. Here's a picture of them: http://www.asianfoodgrocer.com/product.asp?0=249&1=262&3=466

>n addition to Wordsmith's long list, there are "mandarin oranges" perhaps the fruit of # 5. A citrus tree, Citrus reticulata, that is native to China.

I've never seen them canned, what's the difference between mandarin oranges, nachees(?) and clementines?

I don't think I've ever seen canned mandarins. Mandarins were a popular stocking filler when I was a child, but like dates, Christmas was the only time I ever saw them. I think clementines are a bit smaller than a mandarin, but I don't think I could tell one from the other unless they were clearly labelled.
As far as I know I've only ever seen lychees in cans or ready-peeled so I don't know what the outside looks like. The part you eat looks like the edible part of a rambutan (which is probably not very helpful, I'm sorry).
