Definition
- 1(Citrus x limon) Fruto cítrico obtenido del limonero. Es un hesperidio ovoide, con un pezón en el extremo distal, jugoso, con cáscara de color verde virando al amarillo, pulpa amarillenta y sabor moderadamente ácido, debido a la concentración de ácido cítrico en su jugo. Se aprovecha también la capa más exterior de su piel, fuertemente aromática.
- 2(Citrus x limon) Árbol que produce este fruto₁.
- 3(Citrus x aurantifolia) Fruto cítrico, un hesperidio globoso, de entre 2,5 y 5 cm de diámetro. Es de color verde amarillento al madurar, aunque se suele consumir antes de la maduración; su pulpa es verde y jugosa, mucho más ácida que la del limón₁.
- 4(Citrus x latifolia) Fruto cítrico, un hesperidio ovoide, con un pezón en el extremo distal, de hasta 6 cm de diámetro. La cáscara es amarilla cuando madura, y de un verde pálido amarillento en el punto preferido de consumo. Es aromático y poco ácido, y en las variedades comerciales carece por lo general de semilla.
