“…The genera of the Citrus clade are very closely related, as indicated by morphology and anatomy (i.e., increased number of stamens, stalked fusiform pulp vesicles), numerical analysis (Barrett and Rhodes, 1976 [3] ), karyology (heterochromatin bands on six to all nine chromosome pairs: Guerra et al, 2000 [29] ), phytochemistry (see Waterman and Grundon, 1983 [70] ; Da Silva, Gottlieb, and Ehrendorfer, 1988 [9] ), isozymes (Fang, Zhang, and Xiao, 1993 [13] ; Fang and Zhang, 1994 [12] ; Rahman and Nito, 1994 [50] ), and hybrid compatibility among genera within the clade (Barrett, 1978 [2] ; Mabberley, 1998 [42] ) but also with genera as remote as Murraya s.s. and Severinia. All this prompted Mabberley (1998 [42] ) to revive an older suggestion to unify all taxa of the Citrus clade (in addition to the genera studied here, Microcitrus) into one genus, i.e.…”
