Citrus oxanthera, synonym Oxanthera aurantium, is a species of plant in the family Rutaceae. Sometimes referred to commonly as the orange-flowered oxanthera, it is endemic to New Caledonia.^[1]

Taxonomy

Citrus oxanthera has historically been placed in a number of genera, including Atalantia and most recently, Oxanthera, commonly known as false oranges. Phylogenetic analysis showed that Oxanthera species clustered within Citrus, which makes this species a member of that genus,^[2] as had been suggested by Georges Beauvisage a century before.^[3]
