It was described by Tanaka in 1927 as a new species^[3] as well as a synonym of Citrus japonica.^[2][4][5][6] However, recent phylogenetic analysis suggested that C. obovata should be classified as natural or horticultural hybrids.^[8] Today, C. obovata is ranked a 'true' species.Category:All articles with unsourced statementsCategory:Articles with unsourced statements from May 2025^{[citation needed]}
