Fujian pond turtle
mauremys iversoni latin

The Fujian Pond Turtle's scientific name was given in dedication to John Iverson.

The Fujian pond turtle, described as Mauremys iversoni, is a farm bred hybrid, between Yellow pond turtle (usually females) and the Golden coin turtle or Cuora cyclornata (usually males).

"Fujian pond turtles" ("Mauremys" iversoni) are hybrid specimens mainly produced in Chinese turtle farms but possibly occasionally occurring in the wild as well, usually from matings between female Asian Yellow Pond Turtles and Golden coin turtle (Cuora trifasciata) males.

The Fujian Pond Turtle ("Mauremys" x iversoni) is a possibly also naturally occurring intergeneric hybrid turtle in the Geoemydidae family (formerly Bataguridae) produced in larger numbers by Chinese turtle farms as a "copy" of the Golden Coin Turtle Cuora trifasciata.
