The DOE, s.v. defines the lemma as "membrane which surrounds the seeds of fruit, here specifically the pithy membrane of a pomegranate" and relates the occurrance to Aldhelm, De virginitate 9, 236.17: MALA PUNICA CITTIS GRANISQUE RUBENTIBUS REFERTA ET SIMPLO LIBRORUM TEGMINE CONTECTA. On L CITTIS cf. →filmen and L CICCUM ('core of the pomgranate').
