Acomanhas

Acomanhas is a genus of flowering plants in the family Rutaceae, commonly known as citrus. The genus was first described in 1906. Plants in the Acomanhas genus are native to the tropical and subtropical regions of Southeast Asia, particularly in the Malay Archipelago. They are characterized by their evergreen leaves, which are often aromatic, and their flowers, which are typically white and fragrant. The fruits produced by Acomanhas species are generally small and vary in taste, with some being edible and others more bitter.

The taxonomy of Acomanhas has been subject to revision, and its relationship to other genera within Rutaceae, such as Citrus, is a subject of ongoing research. Some species previously classified under Acomanhas have been reclassified into other genera, and vice versa, reflecting the complexities of plant classification. While not as widely cultivated or economically significant as the true citrus fruits, some Acomanhas species are used locally for their fruits or medicinal properties. Further botanical and genetic studies are essential to fully understand the diversity and evolutionary history of this genus.
