The Key lime (Citrus aurantiifolia (often abbreviated to: C. aurantiifolia), or Citrus x aurantiifolia (Christm.) Swingle), also known as the Mexican lime, West Indian lime or Bartender's lime, has a globose fruit, 2.5-5 cm in diameter (1-2 in), that is yellow when ripe but usually picked green commercially. It is smaller, seedier, has a higher acidity, a stronger aroma, and a thinner rind than that of the Persian lime (Citrus x latifolia). It is valued for its unique flavor compared to other limes, with the key lime usually having a more tart and bitter flavour. The name comes from its association with the Florida Keys, where it is best known as the flavoring ingredient in Key lime pie. Panasonic DMC FZ7
