Australian Limes
Australian limes are species of the plant genus ''Citrus'' that are native to Australia and Papua New Guinea. These species were formerly included in the genera ''Microcitrus'' and ''Eremocitrus''. They have been used as a food source by indigenous Australians as well as early settlers and are used in modern Australian cuisine, including marmalade and sauces. Species include: Species from Australia Natural species *''Citrus australasica'' (Finger lime), a species from rainforest regions of northern New South Wales and Southern Queensland with elongated yellow-green to purple fruits. *''Citrus australis'' (Round lime or Dooja), a species from south-eastern Australia with round, green fruits *''Citrus glauca'' (Desert lime), from arid inland areas of inland Australia. Small round fruits are produced in summer. * ''Citrus garrawayi'', (Mount White lime) is rare and endemic to the Cook District of Cape York Peninsula. * ''Citrus gracilis'' (Kakadu lime or Humpty Doo lime) gr ...

Microcitrus
Citrus taxonomy refers to the botanical classification of the species, varieties, cultivars, and graft hybrids within the genus ''Citrus'' and related genera, found in cultivation and in the wild. Citrus taxonomy is complex and controversial. Cultivated citrus are derived from various citrus species found in the wild. Some are only selections of the original wild types, many others are hybrids between two or more original species, and some are backcrossed hybrids between a hybrid and one of the hybrid's parent species. Citrus plants hybridize easily between species with completely different morphologies, and similar-looking citrus fruits may have quite different ancestries. Some differ only in disease resistance. Conversely, different-looking varieties may be nearly genetically identical, and differ only by a bud mutation. Detailed genomic analysis of wild and domesticated citrus cultivars has suggested that the progenitor of modern citrus species expanded out of the Himalayan ...

Citrus Australis
''Citrus australis'', the Dooja, round lime, Australian lime or Australian round lime, is a large shrub or small tree producing an edible fruit. It grows in forest margins in the Beenleigh area and northwards, in Queensland, Australia. ''Citrus australis'' is a tree up to tall. Fruits are spherical or slightly pear-shaped, across, with a thick green or yellow skin and pale green pulp. The 1889 book ''The Useful Native Plants of Australia'' records that "The fruit, which is an inch and a-half in diameter and almost globular, yields an agreeable beverage from its acid juice." Taxonomy A member of the Rutaceae family, ''Citrus australis'' is also known as the Australian round lime, Australia sweet, dooja, Gympie lime, native lime, native orange, or the round lime. It is part of the three main types of indigenous limes that can be found in Australia: the first is the Australian finger lime (''Citrus australasica''), the second is the Australian desert lime ('' Citrus glauca ...

Citrus Maideniana
''Citrus inodora'' or ''Microcitrus inodora'', commonly known as Russell River lime or large leaf Australian wild lime, is a tree native to the Bellenden-Ker Range in northern Queensland, Australia. It grows in lowland tropical rainforest Tropical rainforests are rainforests that occur in areas of tropical rainforest climate in which there is no dry season – all months have an average precipitation of at least 60 mm – and may also be referred to as ''lowland equatori .... Much of its native habitat has now been cleared for agricultural use, so the species has become quite rare. There has to date been no commercial use of the fruits. ''Citrus inodora'' is a shrub up to tall. The fruit is egg-shaped and yellowish-green. Leaves and flowers are essentially odourless, lacking the aromatic oils characteristic of the genus.

Citrus Warburgiana
''Citrus warburgiana''. the kakamadu or New Guinea wild lime, grows on the south coast of the Papuan Peninsula near Alotau in Papua-New Guinea. It is a poorly known tree species. It has dark green, spherical fruits about in diameter. It is taxonomically an Australian lime: This wild lime is a species of ''Microcitrus'' according to the Swingle system, called ''Microcitrus warburgiana'', and according to the classification of David Mabberley, it is to be called ''Citrus warburgiana''. It is the only ''Microcitrus'' coming from outside Australia. Being native to New Guinea, the closest ''Microcitrus'' to it is away, namely ''Citrus garrawayi''.

Citrus Australasica
''Citrus australasica'', the Australian finger lime or caviar lime, is a thorny understorey shrub or small tree of lowland subtropical rainforest and rainforest in the coastal border region of Queensland and New South Wales, Australia. It has edible fruits which are under development as a commercially sold crop. Description The plant is in height. The leaves are small, long and wide, glabrous, with a notched tip and crenate towards the apex. Flowers are white with petals long. The fruit is cylindrical, long, sometimes slightly curved, coming in different colours, including pink and green. Cultivation and uses History Early settlers consumed the fruitLow, Tim, ''Wild Food Plants of Australia'', and retained the trees when clearing for agriculture. Colonial botanists suggested that they should be cultivated, due to the lack of citrus alternatives. Rising demand The finger lime has been recently popularised as a gourmet bushfood.

''Citrus garrawayi'', the Mount White lime, is a tree native to the Cape York region of northern Queensland in Australia. It is an understory tree in tropical rainforests. ''Citrus garrawayi'' is a shrub or small tree up to , with broad lanceolate leaves. Fruits are elongated, yellowish-green with green pulp. The fruits are edible but the species is rare and grows in an isolated location, so there has to date been no commercial use of it.

Citrus Glauca Bushes
''Citrus'' is a genus of flowering trees and shrubs in the rue family, Rutaceae. Plants in the genus produce citrus fruits, including important crops such as oranges, lemons, grapefruits, pomelos, and limes. The genus ''Citrus'' is native to South Asia, East Asia, Southeast Asia, Melanesia, and Australia. Various citrus species have been used and domesticated by indigenous cultures in these areas since ancient times. From there its cultivation spread into Micronesia and Polynesia by the Austronesian expansion (c. 3000–1500 BCE); and to the Middle East and the Mediterranean (c. 1200 BCE) via the incense trade route, and onwards to Europe and the Americas. History Citrus plants are native to subtropical and tropical regions of Asia, Island Southeast Asia, Near Oceania, and northeastern Australia. Domestication of citrus species involved much hybridization and introgression, leaving much uncertainty about when and where domestication first happened. A genomic, phylogenic, and b ...
