Abstract
There are few fossil remains that are assigned or compared toCitrus. A new and characteristic leaf from the Pliocene of Italy is described asCitrus meletensis and its systematic position within theRutaceae is discussed. Together with other sparse remains that are reviewed here it confirms the existence ofCitrus in the European Tertiary.
