• this is Citrus hybrid ... perhaps (C. hystrix × C. medica) or (C. micrantha × C. medica), yet often found written as Citrus aurantiifolia (Christm.) Swingle
• being an hybrid arising from C. medica, many of the vernacular names of C. acida (synonym of C. medica) are found used for Citrus × aurantiifolia
• vernacular names seem to be liberally shared for both: lime and lemon, as well as their many varieties; though when in need of being specific, adjectives are used colloquially
