Editing Murraya (section)

==Taxonomy==
The genus ''Murraya'' was first formally described in 1771 by [[Carl Linnaeus]] in ''[[Mantissa Plantarum Altera]]'' from an unpublished description by [[Johann Gerhard König]].<ref name=APNI>{{cite web|title=''Murraya''|url= https://id.biodiversity.org.au/instance/apni/470792|publisher=APNI|access-date=28 July 2020}}</ref><ref name="L.">{{cite book |last1=von Linné |first1=Carl |title=Mantissa Plantarum Altera |date=1771 |publisher=Impensis Direct.

''Murraya'' is in the [[subfamily]] [[Aurantioideae]], which also includes the genus ''[[Citrus]]''.<ref name=AppeBaylHeslGrop21/> It is in the tribe Clauseneae.<ref name=MouTuChenZhan17/>

===Species list===
Studies have repeatedly shown that two sections into which ''Murraya'' has been divided, ''M.'' sect. ''Murraya'' and ''M.'' sect. ''Bergera'', should be treated as separate genera. ''Murraya'' sensu stricto was revised in 2021, with eight species being accepted:<ref name=MouPengLiHu21>{{Cite journal |last1=Mou |first1=Feng-Juan |last2=Peng |first2=Yun |last3=Li |first3=Yi-Guo |last4=Hu |first4=Xiu |date=2021 |title=Taxonomic revision of ''Murraya'' J.
