Native to tropical southeastern Asia in Malaysia, the Philippines and possibly elsewhere.^[1][2] Triphasias are very close relatives of citrus.
It is a spiny evergreen shrub (rarely a small tree) growing to 3 m tall. The leaves are trifoliate, glossy dark green, each leaflet 2–4 cm long and 1.5–2 cm broad. The flowers are white, with three petals 10–13 mm long and 4 mm broad. The fruit is a red, edible hesperidium 10–15 mm diameter, similar to a small Citrus fruit. The fruit flesh is pulpy, with a flavor reminiscent of a slightly sweet lime.^[1][2][3]
It is grown for its edible fruit, and has been widely introduced to other subtropical to tropical regions of the world;
