Citrus aurantiifolia is believed to be a hybrid of three different parental species with at least one parent from a different genus than the others, involving Citrus medica (citron), Citrus grandis (pummelo) and a Microcitrus species.

The plant is likely to have originated in southeastern Asia, probably Indonesia and Malaysia. It may also have had native populations in eastern and northeastern India, northern Myanmar and southwestern China. It is thought to have been brought by Arab traders to North Africa and the Middle East during the 10th century. From here it was probably carried by the Crusaders back to Europe where it was cultivated by the 13th century. It was likely brought as well to the Iberian peninsula by the Moors, whence it was carried to the New World. There are reports that seeds were brought to the Americas as early as 1493, during Columbus’ second journey to the New World.
Citrus Aurantiifolia requires full direct sunlight and a warm climate.
