Researchers untangle the taxonomic status of Fortunella

Fortunella Swingle (Rutaceae) is an evergreen shrub or small tree distributed in Southeast Asia. China has the most abundant distribution of this genus, and all species are concentrated in China. The genus is a unique fruit resource in China, and almost all species are rare and endangered wild plants, so the conservation and classification of its resources have been concerned. Due to the lack of understanding of its main taxonomic characteristics and different understanding of species scale, there has been a long dispute on its systematic status and taxonomy.
