In-Line Links ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Citrus  is a common term and  genus  of  flowering plants  in the family  Rutaceae , originating in tropical and subtropical southeast regions of the world. The Latin word  citrus  was borrowed from  ancient Greek   kedros  "cedar, juniper" probably through  Etruscan . The Romans applied the word to several different trees with fragrant foliage or wood (compare the completely unrelated  cedars ) [1] . The  taxonomy  and  systematics  of the genus are complex and the precise number of natural  species  is unclear, as many of the named species are  clonally  propagated  hybrids , and there is genetic evidence that even some wild, true-breeding species are of hybrid origin [2] . Cultivated  Citrus  may be derived from as few as four ancestral species. Natural and cultivated origin hybrids include commercially important  fruit  such as the  oranges ,  grapefruit ,  lemons , some  limes , and some  tangerines .
