Citrus macroptera, natively known as hatkhora or (Sylheti: ꠢꠣꠔꠇꠞꠣ, [ɦat̪xɔɾa]) cabuyao,[2] Melanesian papeda,[1] or wild orange,[3] is a semi-wild species of citrus native to the Sylhet region (South Asia) of Bangladesh and the Barak Valley Division of the Indian state of Assam.

Some authorities consider C. macroptera to be a taxonomic synonym of C. hystrix (kaffir lime),[4] while others consider C. macroptera var. annamensis to be a synonym of C. hystrix, but not C. macroptera var. macroptera.[5]
