Citrus × amblycarpa
species of plant
Citrus × amblycarpa is an artificial hybrid species of citrus lime. It has the hybrid formula Citrus daoxianensis × Citrus hystrix.
Common names
The species is referred to as nasnaran by some English speakers, and is called jeruk limau ("orange-lemon") in Indonesia.
Characteristics
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.
The fruits are widely popular as aromatic and flavor-enhancing fruits in Indonesia. 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, while a 2017 study found that the trees had good commercial potential as ornamental pot trees.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Citrus × amblycarpa” is species of plant. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Citrus, amblycarpa and species, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “species of plant” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q17279041. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2020 and 2017.
Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
