Botany

The only truly tropical citrus fruit, the lime is native to southern Asia (India and Malaysia). It grows in numerous tropical and subtropical regions around the globe and is also known as the "tropical lemon" or, in English, "<I<lime." Cultivated in Mexico, the West Indies, and Italy, it is a small evergreen tree up to four and a half meters tall, with smooth oval leaves, very sharp thorns, and small white flowers. The (bitter) fruits are light green and about half the size of a lemon; they share the same therapeutic properties, for which they have been used for centuries.
