Citrus Relatives

 

List of Tribes, Subtribes, Subtribal Groups, and Genera of the Orange Subfamily, Aurantioideae.

Note: The Citrus Variety Collection does not have every species that is listed here (although we wish we did!). However, this list made by Walter T. Swingle demonstrates how Citrus is related to its wild relatives in the subfamily Aurantioideae.
