Clauseneae is one of the two tribes of the flowering plant family Rutaceae, subfamily Aurantioideae, the other being Citreae, which includes Citrus .
The tribe comprises five genera: Micromelum , Glycosmis , Clausena , Murraya , and Merrillia ; considered to be the more primitive genera of the orange subfamily. [1] The members can be distinguished from the Citreae tribe by their odd-pinnate leaves, with the leaflets alternately attached to the rachis. [1]
