Citrus garrawayi, the Mount White lime, is a tree native to the Cape York region of northern Queensland in Australia. It is an understory tree in tropical rainforests.[2]
Citrus garrawayi is a shrub or small tree up to 15 m (49 ft), with broad lanceolate leaves. Fruits are elongated, yellowish-green with green pulp. The fruits are edible but the species is rare and grows in an isolated location, so there has to date been no commercial use of it.[3]
The species is often included in the genus Microcitrus rather than in the genus Citrus.
