Oxanthera neocaledonica(Guillaumin) Tanaka

Citrus neocaledonica, synonym Oxanthera neocaledonica, the large leaf oxanthera, is a species of plant in the family Rutaceae. It is endemic to New Caledonia. [1]

Taxonomy

Citrus neocaledonica was originally named as a member of the genus Citrus by André Guillaumin in 1911, [2] but the false oranges were moved to a novel genus Oxanthera in the Swingle and Tanaka systems of citrus taxonomy. Phylogenetic analysis showed that Oxanthera species clustered within Citrus , which makes this species a member of that genus. [3]
