Chilocalyx Turcz. (non Klotzsch) (sec. Swingle and Reece 1967)
Pamburus Swingle (sec. Swingle and Reece 1967, Mabberley 2004, Bayer et al. 2009; sensu Tanaka sec. Cottin 2002)
Crown compact or dense, not weeping. First-year twig surface glabrous; second- or third-year twig surface mottled; thorns straight; prickles absent or not persistent. Petiole glabrous, length short or medium; wings absent. Leaflets one, margin entire or crenate/crenulate, shade leaflet blades flat, sun leaflet blades weakly conduplicate. Scent of crushed leaflets freshly lemon-like. Fruit as broad as long or longer than broad; rind yellow-orange (11), orange (12), or red-orange (13); navel absent.
Swingle and Reece (1967) provided the following additional notes on the genus:
"All the species of [subtribe Triphasiinae] have persistent evergreen leaves but they vary greatly in the different genera: Wenzelia, Monanthocitrus, Merope, and Pamburus have simple leaves with very short, wingless, non-articulated petioles; Triphasia has pinnately trifoliolate or simple leaves; Luvunga has palmately trifoliolate leaves with the leaflets attached by pulvinoid petiolules to a long petiole with a pulvinus at the base; Paramignya has unifoliolate leaves with wingless petioles usually pulvinoid at the junction with the blade (the two last-named genera have petioles articulated with the leaf blade); Oxanthera has three species with unifoliolate leaves with articulated petioles and one simple-leaved species with nonarticulated petioles."
