In Australia we call the limes that I use "Tahitian limes". At the moment I do not have a tree, but I did have a tree 20 years ago, the tree was sold to me as a Tahitian Lime, in the supermarkets fruit that was the same as on my tree was called "Tahitian Lime".

In Jawa limes that appear to be exactly the same as this are called jeruk nipis.

In appearance the fruit is round, about the same size as a large egg, very green. Taste is more acidic than a lemon.

I do not know what Persian limes are.
