Ecology[]

Papilio polymnestor, the blue Mormon, a large swallowtail butterfly from South India and Sri Lanka can be found near Atalantia. Phyllocnistis citrella, the citrus leafminer, is a moth of the family Gracillariidae whose larvae are considered a serious agricultural pest on citrus species, such as Atalantia. Macaldenia palumba is a moth of the family Noctuidae whose larvae feed on Atalantia.

Uses[]

The 1889 book The Useful Native Plants of Australia records Atalantia glauca, common names native kumquat and desert lemon. The fruit is globular, and about half-an-inch in diameter. It produces an agreeable beverage from its acid juice.[6]
