Identification of Australian lime

Posted by ctcitrus Z5CT (My Page) on

Hello, I have a couple varieties of fingerlime, including the more common Citrus australasica. I also have a New Guinea fingerlime (Citrus papuana). I was given a finger lime cutting and at the time it was given to me, it was just identified as a "finger lime." It is definitely NOT australasica or papuana. It fruited a few months ago and I got photos of the tiny fruit before they fell off the plant.
I also have pictures of the plant in flower. Prior to its fruiting, a couple of people who I consider to be fairly knowledgeable in Australian citrus had identified the plant as a roundlime -- that was before it fruited. The fruit, while very small, clearly shows it will be long and not round. Is there anyone on this list who can help identify what I have or refer me to someone who is familiar with the more unusual kinds of finger limes and can identify the plant? I can email photos to anyone who might be able to help.
