Triphasia trifolia, also known as limeberry or sweet lime, is a species of shrub in the Rutaceae family. It is native to tropical southeastern Asia, particularly in Indonesian islands and the Philippines. It is closely related to citrus plants. The plant grows up to 3 meters tall and has glossy dark green trifoliate leaves. Its white flowers have three petals and the fruit is a red, edible hesperidium with a flavor similar to a sweet lime. The limeberry is cultivated for its fruit and has been introduced to other subtropical and tropical regions, where it has become naturalized. It is also used as a bonsai plant. While it has potential as a commercial fruit crop in tropical areas, it must be grown in greenhouses in other locations. The plant's leaves have antimicrobial properties and have been used in traditional medicine to treat lung cancer and pneumonia, but more research is needed. In some introduced locations, the limeberry is considered a weed.
