Citrus ×limonia
Also called Mandarin lime, Lemon, Canton Lemon, Chinese Dwarf Lemon, Meyer Lemon, Otaheite Orange, Balotin Bergamot
Rangpur lime is a hybrid citrus tree between mandarin and citron, grown mainly for its very acidic orange fruit used as a lime substitute. It is best grown in a warm, sunny spot with regular watering and good drainage.
Rangpur lime, Citrus × limonia or Citrus reticulata × medica, sometimes called the mandarin lime or lemandarin, is a hybrid between the mandarin orange and the citron. It is a citrus fruit with a very acidic taste and an orange peel and flesh.
Rangpurs are highly acidic and can be used as a substitute for limes. However the name lime in connection with this fruit is misleading, because there are very few similarities between the rangpur and other fruits called limes.
