Citropsis is a genus of flowering plants in the citrus family, Rutaceae. They are known generally as African cherry oranges.^[1] They are native to Africa.^[2]

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.^[1]^[3] Citropsis and the genus Atalantia are also called near-citrus fruit trees.^[1] The genus Citropsis is thought to be an ancestral group of genus Citrus.^[2] Fruit-bearing intergeneric hybrids have been established between Citropsis gabunensis and Citrus wakonai.^[4]

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.^[5]

Taxa include:^[3]

Citropsis angolensis – Angola cherry orange
Citropsis articulata (syn. C. preussii, C. schweinfurthii^[6]) – West African cherry orange
Citropsis daweana – Mozambique cherry orange
Citropsis gabunensis – Gabon cherry orange
- Citropsis gabunensis var. lacourtiana – Sankuru cherry orange
Citropsis gilletiana – Gillet's cherry orange
Citropsis latialata – Ikongu cherry orange
Citropsis le-testui – Le Testu's cherry orange
Citropsis mirabilis – Ivory Coast cherry orange
Citropsis noldeae^[7]
Citropsis tanakae – Sierra Leone cherry orange
Citropsis zenkeri – Zenker's cherry orange
