Persian lime (Citrus × latifolia), also known by other common names such as seedless lime,[2]Bearss lime[3] and Tahiti lime,[3] is a citrus fruit species of hybrid origin, known only in cultivation.[2] The Persian lime is a triploid cross between Key lime (Citrus × aurantiifolia) and lemon (Citrus ×limon).[4][5]
Although there are other citrus species that are referred to as "limes", the Persian lime is the most widely cultivated lime species commercially,[6] and accounts for the largest share of the fruits sold as limes. The fruit turns yellow as it ripens, but it is universally sold while still green.
