The Mangshanyegan (Chinese: 莽山野桔; Citrus mangshanensis, also known incorrectly as the 'Mangshan mandarin') is a wild citrus fruit species.
The mangshanyegan is native to mountain forests in Mangshan, Hunan province, China, where it was first reported in the 1980s.[2] It is morphologically similar to cultivated Mandarin oranges, but genetically distinct.[1] Genomic sequencing shows the mangshanyegan to be one of a small number of pure (non-hybrid) citrus species, having diverged from other members of the genus at the initial branching of Citrus radiation in the Late Miocene.[3]
Citrus crops are often propagated asexually, so they have low genetic diversity.[4] The mangshanyegan is thus potentially important as a source of diversity for citrus breeders.
