Citropsis is a genus of flowering plants in the citrus family, Rutaceae. They are known generally as African cherry oranges.[3] They are native to Africa.[4]
This genus is in the subfamily Aurantioideae, which also includes genus Citrus. It is in the tribe Citreae and subtribe Citrinae, which are known technically as the citrus fruit trees.[3][5] Citropsis and the genus Atalantia are also called near-citrus fruit trees.[3] The genus Citropsis is thought to be an ancestral group of genus Citrus.[4] Fruit-bearing intergeneric hybrids have been established between Citropsis gabunensis and Citrus wakonai.[6] Demand for the roots, supposedly an aphrodisiac, may lead to the overexploitation of the tree.[7]
