Citrus hystrix, called the kaffir lime, Thai lime^[4] or makrut lime,^[5] (US: /ˈmækrət/, UK: /məkˈruːt/)^[6] is a citrus fruit native to tropical Southeast Asia.^[7]^[8]

Its fruit and leaves are used in Southeast Asian cuisine, and its essential oil is used in perfumery.^[9] Its rind and crushed leaves emit an intense citrus fragrance.
