MIC

1/4 grapefruit, 1/4 tangerine, 1/4 Ichangensis, 1/8 Temple orange (sweet orange x mandarin), and 1/8 Poncirus 

Small, and fairly seedy, but with excellent mandarin flavor. Flavor is good.[3]

A complex hybrid probably  by Dr. Brown.  The name is taken from the crossing label
Minneola(aka Honeybell) x C. Ichangensis x CiTemple Edible

So the crossing order would be:
(Duncan grapefruit x Dancy tangerine) x (Ichang papeda x (Poncirus x Temple tangerine))[1]

(C. paradisi 'Duncan' x C. reticulata 'Dancy') 'Minneola' x (C. ichangensis x (C. trifoliata x (C. reticulata x C. sinensis 'Temple') 'CiTemple Edible'))

Minneola is a hybrid of Duncan grapefruit and Dancy tangerine produced in Florida by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and named and released in 1931 [2]
