Lime is a term referring to a number of different fruits (generally citruses), both species and hybrids, which are typically round, green to yellow in color, 3-6 cm in diameter, generally containing sour pulp, and frequently associated with the lemon.
The limes, most commonly available commercially are the smaller, yellower Key lime (also known as the Mexican Lime) (Citrus aurantifolia) and the larger, greener Persian lime (Citrus × latifolia).^[1] "Key lime" is an American retronym, as the original fruit known in English as a "lime" was Citrus aurantifolia, derived from the Persian name لیمو, limu (the fruit was introduced to Europe during the Crusades). Other limes include the Mandarin lime (Citrus limonia), Kaffir lime (Citrus hystrix), the various Australian limes, Spanish lime (Melicoccus bijugatus), wild lime (Adelia ricinella), sweet lime (Citrus limetta), Palestine sweet lime (Citrus limettioides), and musk lime (X Citrofortunella mitis).^[2] The limequat is a lime-kumquat hybrid, and Omani lime (A small lime with a very strong flavor and fragrant aroma)
