Citrus aurantiifolia (Lime)

Cultivated below 8,500 feet. Lime is a very popular fruit in Colombia where it is called Limón. You can purchase twenty limes for about 50 cents. Whereas the sweeter lemons are imported and infrequently sold. I have not seen any lemon tree cultivated in Colombia. Photographed in Acacias and the department of Quindio.
