Citrus indica

This wild orange plant was originally characterized as one of the likely ancestors of today's cultivated citrus fruits, if not the main one.[5] However, genomic analysis has revealed it to be a citrus hybrid, with maternal citron ancestry and also mandarin orange and unspecified papeda contributions.[5] Recent searches of the plant's reported home range confirmed its presence only in Meghalaya, where it grows in the Garo Hills.[4] Threats to the species have included habitat destruction caused by slash-and-burn (jhum) activity.[5] This plant requires a specific microclimate,[4] and appropriate habitat is limited.
