Citrus species have been cultivated since ancient times. This, combined with their ease of hybridization, has resulted in countless varieites and types of citrus. Some of the more well-known are included here. Citrus classification can be muddled, and there is disagreement on a number of citrus fruits whether or not to differentiate them as unique species or simply varieties of a single species.
