According to wikipedia they are cultivated from a hybrid of mandarin orange and Ichang papeda, the latter being from another wild lineage than the three shown.

Indeed, thanks.

This takes the citrus gram into 3D

You might need several more dimensions (assuming this quoted claim is correct - it does come with a Citation Needed)

> Recent genetic analysis shows the papedas to be distributed among distinct branches of the Citrus phylogenetic tree, and hence Swingle's proposed subgenus is polyphyletic and not a valid taxonomic grouping, but the term persists as a common name.

Good point, as ever.

So what would be interesting is an interdimensional citrus fruit.

From what I can tell, the papeda is included as a sort of addendum in the bottom right corner of the chart.
