Citrus × amblycarpa is an artificial hybrid species of citrus lime. It has the hybrid formula Citrus daoxianensis × Citrus hystrix.[1]

Common names[edit]

The species is referred to as nasnaran by some English speakers, and is called jeruk limau ("orange-lemon") in Indonesia.[2]

Characteristics[edit]

The species grows in hot, humid, tropical regions at altitudes up to 350 meters above sealevel. It can grow to between 3 and 7 meters in height. Amblycarpa leaves are dark green and oblong in shape. Its flowers are white and fragrant, and its fruits are green with a rough peel and juicy fresh, similar to other limes.[2]

The fruits are widely popular as aromatic and flavor-enhancing fruits in Indonesia.[2] The juice of half-ripened fruits is sour, and is used to flavor Indonesian condiments such as sambal olek, and added to dishes such as soto. A 2020 study suggested the peels of these fruits could have anti-diabetic effects,[3] while a 2017 study found that the trees had good commercial potential as ornamental pot trees.[4]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
