Dear Mic, in this week, my contribution would be just about 10 - 12 species of Rutaceae, which I have in my flickr photostream. I am not too familiar with *Citrus* plants, and have just 3 species with me - will be posting them one-by-one as time favours during this week.
My thought: I suggest to let the Rutaceae posts from all our friends come in during the week - you may review them / discuss them as per any of your approach that will help your project. Regards.
