Comment:
[possibly the hybrid,
C. limon
×
C. reticulata
]
some recent authors treat Osbeck's name as a new combination,
C. limon
(L.) Osbeck ["
limonia
"], based on
C. medica
var.
limon
L., but Osbeck makes no reference to the Linnaean basionym, nor did he adopt the spelling of the Linnaean epithet, so it does not seem possible to apply Melbourne ICN Art. 41.4

this study tested three graft stocks related to

: 'Cravo limeira', 'Cravo FCAV' and a graft stock complex hybrid ('Rangpur lime') derived from the cross
Citrus limonia
× (
Poncirus trifoliata
×
C. paradisi
); all of these graft stocks performed poorly

Note:
this study examined the origin of cultivated citrus; it included three samples of
Citrus limonia
; it obtained seven mitotypes, one of which ('Acid mandarin rootstock') included
C. limonia
together with other species used as graft stock; this study confirmed that "lime" and "lemon" represent different mitotypes, and they do not fit currently taxonomy
