Had come to believe that C. medica may assume longish shape, sometimes not even symmetrical, with the hard texture while C. longlimon relatively of softer texture approaching regular sour lime that we use. Also thinking that Assam lemons are not grown in Pune – that however is an unjustified thought. Please help clear my thoughts.

2015april_sk06/06 : Citrus medica L.? : 6 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (8) I photographed this 15 ft shrub in November last year, in a home yard. Fruits are about 4 inch long, if I remember well, may be more.FoC says fruits of C. medica L. can grow to 2 kg! A paper says 4-5 kg! I never checked how much a C. maxima (Burm.) Osbeck weigh., the largest citrus fruit I have ever seen. I have found another paper, in two part – Our eFI site is of little help to me in this regard Is that full size fruit? Hardly see how it could be C. medica if they are. I am no expert in Citrus but I know C. medica are usually huge. Here, in this thread, I saw fruits as big as a MOSAMBI or orange; the flower character, the calyx character, the petiole character suggest this is C. medica L., I think.

Is it some citrus plant? It is seedles variety of lemon, it is a Citrus hybrid. Thank you … for feedback, hoping to get the cultivar/hybrid name if possible… I think Citrus limon or its hybrid Citrus medica L.
Citrus medica, the citron, a fruit with thick white rind, surface rough, wrinkled, green when young, yellowish when ripe, pulp rough and much less juicy. The fruit is the source of citron juice and also used candied. Would you consider a Citrus week? Bara nembu or nibu can be any citrus. But i have eaten BIJAURA in youger days. But it was not grapefruit and it was not savour at all. It could be citrus maxima. Bijaura must be full of seeds etymologically. By the way, Bijaura is one of the names of Citrus medica. . .

Hooghly – seems to be Citrus medica var. acida Brandis : Attachments (7). 3 posts by 2 authors. efi page on Citrus aurantiifolia (syn. Citrus medica var. acida Brandis)
Common names: Citron Hindi: Bara nimbu, bijaura, turanj Beng: Bara nimbu, beg pura Guj: Turanj, bijoru Mar: Mahalunga, mavalung Mal: Gilam, rusakam, matalanarakam Kan: Madala, mahaphala, rusaka Tam: Kadaranarathai Tel: Lungamu I have seen this tree grown very commonly in private houses as nimbu. The fruit is the size of lemon (Citrus limon) but more spherical, generally with inconspicuous nipple, but importantly the rind is very thick (often 5 mm or even more) and rough (rugose) on surface.    Rutaceae Week_RVS3_Citrus aurantiifolia: I thought Citrus medica Thanks … for the id.
Rutaceae Week: Citrus medica L. var. sarcodactylis (Hoola van Nooten) Swingle from California: yes, glad to see it, many years ago saw it in a Florida nursery that specialised in “shocking” fruits… owner took great pride in this plant and would not sell it…
Fruits & Vegetables Week: Citrus medica var. sarcodactylis, the Budha’s hand: Citrus medica var. sarcodactylis, the Budha’s hand, finger citron, flesh-finger citron is a fragrant citron variety whose fruit is segmented into finger-like sections. The fruit has a thick peel and only a small amount of acidic flesh (if any) and is juiceless and sometimes seedless. It is very fragrant and is used predominantly by the Chinese and Japanese for perfuming rooms and personal items, such as clothing. The peel of the fruit can be candied into succade. In Western cooking, it is often used for its zest. The inner white pith is not bitter as is usually the case with citrus, so the fingers may be cut off and then longitudinally sliced, peel, pith, and all, and used in salads or scattered over cooked foods such as fish. – Yes interesting to look at. I found few specimens in weekly farmers bazaar in Sunnyvale, California There is plenty of information on the net http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddha’s_hand

. Flora of Manipur: Citrus longilimon – efloraofindia | Google Groups: Citrus longilimon (Rutaceae). Planted in house gardens. Credit for the id goes to … (I originally identified this as C. limon, now i am more convinced!). Thanks for showing us photographs of this Assam lemon, on which we had discussion last week, and I could sort out its identity after a lot of net search. But similar plants have been identified as Citrus medica in the following sites: http://www.vegtalk.citron-citrus-medica-t1635.html Citrus medica – ‘Corsican Citron’ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citron as Citron varieties http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Citron.html … pictures So how to confirm this? No picture for C. longilimon available in the net. The protologue (in Bull.Univ. Osaka Perfect….1959) in also not traceable. I am not able to distinguish it from Citrus medica, which has fruit which is variable in shape Assam lemon, characterised by its long fruits (distinctinctly longer than broad) have been named as C. limon at many websites, and as C. medica in many websites. It should not look strange firstly because taxonomy of Citrus is very confusing, secondly many authors consider C. limon as var. or subsp. of C. medica, and as such those not going below species level would simply call it C. medica. Plus C. longilimon (character is in the name itself) is comparatively recently established species, not known to me. NMPMD database is generally well researched, and it is from here as well photographs of Assam lemon at various websites that C. longilimon appears to be the most logical name. Plus GRIN also recognises it as distinct species. C. limon is generally differentiated from C. medica by much thinner and smoother rind. Let us try to find out other differentiating features (in addition to longer fruit) of C. longilimon to arrive at final conclusion. Citrus medica L. ! I agree that this is Assam lemon. But the name Citrus longilimon Tanaka, although first published in 1959 and appears in several webpages, is not yet recognized by the major taxonomic databases, including TPL, POWO, GBIF etc. Also, a recent paper (cited below) discusses the morphological diversity of C. medica in NE India and includes specimens of similar fruit shape from the same region. So, I think we can treat this plant as C. medica L. for now along with C. longilimon Tanaka as a probable synonym, until it is further resolved. Thanks … for confirming that this is Assam lemon for which name C. longilimon has been published by Tanaka. We already have a page on C. longilimon, and it should go there. I think this is Citrus medica L., as per images and details herein.
