Micromelum

Micromelum is a genus of eight species of flowering plants in the family Rutaceae.

==Description== The genus includes evergreen and deciduous shrubs and trees. The leaves are glandular and aromatic, containing essential oils. They are alternately arranged. They are usually pinnate, divided into up to 23 leaflets, except for M. diversifolium, which sometimes has undivided leaf blades. The leaflet edges are smooth or toothed. There are sometimes glandular stipules. The inflorescence is a large panicle, sometimes flat-topped like a corymb, growing from the or at the ends of branches. The flowers have five narrow petals in shades of green, white, or yellow, borne in a hairy, cup-like with five lobes or five separate sepals. The odour of the flowers has been described as "malodorous" and "foetid". There are ten stamens and one to five styles. The genus is noted for the unusual curving or twisting of the chambers in the ovary. The fruit is a berry up to long. It is yellow, orange, or red, and sometimes fleshy, but it lacks the pulp present in some related fruits, notably citrus. The peel is gland-dotted. Each fruit has one to three seeds.
