''Citropsis'' is a genus of flowering plants in the citrus family, Rutaceae. They are known generally as African cherry oranges.〔Swingle, W. T., rev. P. C. Reece. (Chapter 3: The Botany of ''Citrus'' and its Wild Relatives. ) In: ''The Citrus Industry'' vol. 1. Webber, H. J. (ed.). Berkeley: University of California Press. 1967.〕 They are native to Africa.〔Yahata, M., et al. (2006). (Production of sexual hybrid progenies for clarifying the phylogenic relationship between ''Citrus'' and ''Citropsis'' species. )] ''Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science'' 131(6), 764-69.〕 This genus is in the subfamily Aurantioideae, which also includes genus ''Citrus''. It is in the tribe Citreae and subtribe Citrinae, which are known technically as the citrus fruit trees.〔〔(Citrus Variety Collection. ) College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences. University of California, Riverside.〕 ''Citropsis'' and the genus ''Atalantia'' are also called near-citrus fruit trees.〔 The genus ''Citropsis'' is thought to be an ancestral group of genus ''Citrus''.〔 Fruit-bearing intergeneric hybrids have been established between ''Citropsis gabunensis'' and ''Citrus wakonai''.〔Smith, M. W., et al. (2013). (First fruiting intergeneric hybrids between ''Citrus'' and ''Citropsis''. ) ''Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science'' 138(1), 57-63.〕 A root extract of ''C. articulata'' is popular in Uganda as an herbal aphrodisiac. The tree is known locally by the name ''omuboro'', and by a number of nicknames that reference male genitalia. Demand for the roots may lead to the overexploitation of the tree.〔Mmali, J. (Uganda's 'sex tree' under threat. ) ''BBC News'' 25 July 2007.〕 Taxa include:〔 *''Citropsis angolensis'' – Angola cherry orange *''Citropsis articulata'' (syn.
