Merope angulate

Mangrove Lime

This very rare plant looks much like a small lime tree.  The tree has thorns prompting the name 'lelang' in Malaysia which refers to the talons of the hawk describing the look of the branches. Makes a good container specimen. Leaves are aromatic when crushed, giving off a citrus scent. Lovely scented, small white flowers occasionally bloom.

  The small size of this tropical tree makes it an ideal species for bonsai.
