Species within the genus Nimmoniana are known for their medicinal properties, with historical uses in traditional remedies. Their leaves and stems contain essential oils that contribute to their characteristic fragrance and have been explored for various therapeutic applications. The exact taxonomic placement and species within Nimmoniana have been subject to ongoing botanical research and revision. Further study is needed to fully understand the genetic relationships and evolutionary history of this genus within the broader Rutaceae family.
