POSITION OF THE ORANGE SUBFAMILY, AURANTIOIDEAE, IN THE PLANT FAMILY RUTACEAE The family Rutaceae belongs to the division Embryophyta Siphonogama, subdivision Angiospermae, class Dicotyledoneae, subclass Archichlamydeae (Choripetalae and Apetalae), order Geraniales, suborder 1, Geraniineae, along with eleven other plant families classed by Engler and Diels (1936, p. xl) in the following order: Oxalidaceae, Geraniaceae, Tropaeolaceae, Linaceae, Erythroxylaceae, Zygophyllaceae, Cneoraceae, Rutaceae, Simarubaceae, Burseraceae, Meliaceae, Akariaceae. The other suborders of the Geraniales are as follows: 2, Malpighiineae (3 families); 3, Polygalineae (2 families); 4, Dichapetalineae (1 family); 5, Tricoccae (2 families); 6, Callitrichineae (1 family). The order Geraniales is preceded by the order Rosales (including 17 families, among them Rosaceae and Leguminosae) and followed by the order Sapindales (including 23 families, among them Anacardiaceae and Sapindaceae). The relationship of the orange subfamily to the six other subfamilies of the Rutaceae is shown by the general key given by Engler (1931, pp. 105-11), which, translated somewhat freely from the German, reads as follows: Subfamily I. RUTOIDEAE. Carpels usually 4-5, seldom 1-3 or more, often united only by the common pistil and free below, at maturity more or less separated, opening inward by splitting the follicle (loculicidal), usually with a dehiscent endocarp, very seldom with 4-1 fleshy drupes (Pitaviinae). Leaves and bark of twigs with schizolysigenous oil glands. (5 tribes, 17 subtribes, 86 genera.) Tribe (i) Xanthoxyleae. Trees or shrubs, mostly small, greenish or greenish-white (seldom large and clear white) flowers which are always actinomorphous (radial) and often unisexual.

THE ORANGE SUBFAMILY, AURANTIOIDEAE The subfamily Aurantioideae is defined briefly above in the outline of the Rutaceae, where all the subfamilies, tribes, and subtribes of this plant family are given. All the species of the Aurantioideae are trees or shrubs with persistent (evergreen) leaves except in the three monotypic genera, Poncirus, Aegle, and Feronia, and in three species of Clausena (C. pentaphylla, C. dentata var. dulcis, and C. suffruticosa) and one of Murraya (M. alternans). The flowers are usually white and very often fragrant. Many of the genera bear subglobose fruits with a green, yellow, or orange peel dotted with numerous oil glands that often give an agreeable aroma when the fruit is handled. The fruits of the genus Citrus are among the most beautiful, most fragrant, and most delicious known to man. This subfamily contains Citrus and thirty-two other genera related more or less to Citrus, classed in two tribes and six subtribes which contain, as treated here, 203 species. The genus Citrus and a few others closely related to it have fruits unlike any others known to botanists in being filled with curious pulp-vesicles which contain in many species a delicious juicy tissue. The subtribe Balsamocitrinae, which belongs to the tribe Citreae, has fruits as large as oranges or grapefruits but with a hard woody shell. These hard-shelled fruits do not contain juicy pulp-vesicles, although some of them are pleasantly aromatic and much liked by both natives and Europeans in India and Indo-China. Many of the remote relatives of Citrus belonging to the tribe Clauseneae have extremely small fruits very unlike those of Citrus and usually semidry and entirely inedible. Nevertheless some of these remote relatives have been found to be graft-compatible with Citrus. The native habitat of the subfamily Aurantioideae is limited to the Old World. Most of the genera are found in the Monsoon region from West Pakistan to north-central China and thence south through the East Indian Archipelago to New Guinea and Bismarck Archipelago, northeastern Australia, New Caledonia, Melanesia, and the western Polynesian islands. Of the thirty-three genera that constitute the Aurantioideae, no fewer than twenty-nine are native to the Monsoon region and twenty-seven of them are found only there. Five genera, belonging to two tribes and to three subtribes, are native to tropical Africa and four genera are found only there. Only one genus, Clausena, is native both to the Monsoon region and to tropical Africa. Many of the species of Citrus and of the genera closely related to Citrus are now found in cultivation or are grown for ornament in all the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. 2ff7e9595c
