Citrus latipes, commonly called"Khasi papeda",[2] is sometimes mistakenly identified as Kaffir lime (C. hystrix).[1] Native toNortheast India, the khasipapeda is a small, thorny tree that closely resembles both kaffir limes and ichang papedas (C. cavaleriei). Though rarely eaten, and extremely rare in cultivation, the fruit is edible.
Fruits ofC. latipes are used medicinally in NortheasternIndia "to treat stone problem".Locally, it is known as "Soh-Shyrkhoit" in the Khasi language (Soh = fruit, Shyrkhoit = monkey), meaning the fruit of a monkey.[3]
