In 17-limit just intonation, 30/17 is the diatismic minor seventh, measuring about 983.3 ¢. It falls short of the Pythagorean minor seventh (16/9) by a diatisma (136/135), hence the name. It is the mediant of 7/4 and 23/13. Its inversion is 17/15, the "septendecimal whole tone"; both of these intervals are well approximated in 22edo (18\22, 4\22).
