I'm not sure. I know the seeds are used medicinally. It's in the citrus family (Rutaceae).

I can't say that it looks overly appetising!

I'd like to get some seeds so I can see if I can grow this tree from seed. I had one for many years (in the SF Bay Area) and gave it to my mother when I moved to San Diego.

There's a lot of trees here. They are very spectacular in bloom.
Here's a few of my photos.
