Genus Fortunella is a classification of small, fruit-bearing trees in the Rutaceae (rue or citrus) family, native to Asia. It includes several species that produce fruits known as kumquats, which are small, edible, oval citrus fruit that can be eaten whole, including its peel. These trees are generally cultivated for their fruit and as ornamental trees due to their glossy dark green foliage and fragrant flowers.
