Clymenia (plant)
Leaves feature a short, narrow petiole, which sets them apart from most other citrus, especially the papedas native to the same general area.[3][4] Native to a handful of locations on Papua New Guinea and nearby islets, including New Ireland, New Britain and the Admiralty Islands,[5] Clymenia is far more tropical than other citrus, and even in subtropical parts of the United States, it can only be grown in a greenhouse.Cultivated locally for its sweet fruits on a handful of southwestern Pacific islands, Clymenia was originally considered an obscure citrus hybrid.Botanist Walter Tennyson Swingle proposed moving Clymenia out of Citrus, circumscribing the genus in 1939,[6] naming it after a figure from Greek mythology, Clymene, an Orchomenian princess who was the mother of Atalanta.[3] Recent genomic analysis has shed new light on the phylogeny of Clemenia, potentially clarifying questions of its taxonomy.
