Reply to comment by Stswivvinsdayalready in TIL that Persian limes, the fruit that most Americans and Europeans know as simply “limes” are actually a hybrid of lemons and real limes, what we call “Key limes” today by evclides
Semi-related tangent, lemons and limes are called "citron" and "citron vert" in French, lemon and green lemon. Not to be confused with what we call "citron" in English which is a different, relatively uncommon citrus fruit.
