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]
