Citrus macroptera, commonly known as cabuyao, Melanesian papeda, or wild orange, is a semi-wild species of citrus native to the Malesian ecoregion (Island Southeast Asia and Melanesia).
Some authorities consider C. macroptera to be a taxonomic synonym of C. hystrix (kaffir lime), while others consider C. macroptera var. annamensis to be a synonym of C. hystrix, but not C. macroptera var. macroptera.
Citrus macroptera is cultivated widely in the Sylhet region (South Asia) of Bangladesh and the Barak Valley Division of the Indian state of Assam, where it is known as hatkhora.
