Range & habitat
Citrus inodora is only known to occur in lowland tropical rainforest and in Backhousia bancroftii forest as an understorey plant at elevations from sea level to 120m on the eastern side of Bellenden Ker Range to Mount Bartle Frere area, and at Cape Tribulation. Much of its native range has now been cleared for agricultural use including banana and sugar cane plantations.
