Thank you for persisting with the Citrus. I am thanking you more so because your queries made me look at the narthangai plant again (A lesson in observation!) and I noticed that it had thorns.Something that the photo posted by ... does not show. Again i do not know if the plant he has photographed is/could be a hybrid variety. These days several varieties of plants that originally had thorns are produced minus these natural protectors! I am attaching with this mail a photo of the narthangai plant growing in my garden. Too early for it to fruit, so only leaves and branches are seen in the photo.This much i can vouch for - it is narthangai plant. It was grown from the seeds of the fruit. Which species of Citrus it is I do not know. I do hope that this helps After seeing the photograph shot by ... I had a second look at Citrus species and am inclined to identify it with C. hystrix DC. This species has winged petiole more than half as long as leaf blade and crenulate leaves, fruit 5-7 cm. Need a kaffir lime plant: Kindly help me find a nursery that stocks this plant. Anywhere in India will do. Please try Pathare Nursery, near Shivaji Chowk, Kalyan. They keep good varieties of grafted plants especially lemon. Kaffir lemon : 2 posts by 2 authors.
