Touman

Touman is a genus of flowering plants in the family Rutaceae, commonly known as citrus trees. The genus name Touman is derived from the Arabic word for "citron". The genus includes several species of evergreen shrubs and small trees that are native to the tropical regions of Asia and India.

The Touman genus is characterized by its fragrant flowers and spherical or oval fruits that have a thick, leathery skin. The fruits are often yellow or green in color and contain several seeds. The leaves are ovate, alternate, and have a prominent midrib.

Touman trees are commonly cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions for their edible fruits, which are used in a variety of culinary applications. The fruits are also used in traditional medicine to treat various ailments, including fever, rheumatism, and respiratory problems.

In addition to their culinary and medicinal uses, Touman trees are also valued for their timber and essential oils. The essential oils extracted from the leaves and fruits of the tree are used in the perfume industry and have antiseptic and antibacterial properties.

The Touman genus is closely related to other genera within the Rutaceae family, such as Citrus and Fortunella. However, the Touman species are distinct from the more widely cultivated citrus species, such as oranges and lemons.

Touman trees are generally easy to grow and maintain, and are often used in landscaping and orchards in tropical regions. However, they are susceptible to certain pests and diseases, including citrus canker and root rot.
