Burkillanthus is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the citrus family, Rutaceae, containing the single species Burkillanthus malaccensis.[1] It is native to Sumatra, the Malay Peninsula and Borneo.[1] Its common name is Malay ghostlime.[3]

This species is part of the same subfamily (Aurantioideae), tribe (Citreae), and subtribe (Citrinae), as genus Citrus, and as such, it is known technically as a citrus fruit tree.[3] It grows on river banks and on ridges in primary and secondary forests.[1]
