Look like Calamondin [ x Citrofortunella microcarpa (Bunge) Wijnands]- an intergeneric hybrid of  Citrus reticulata and Fortunella japonica, known only in cultivation.

Garg Ji,

Thanks to you and Dr Nair for the id.

I had posted one from Delhi earlier which was identified as the same.

Gurcharan Ji,

I found only the flowers and green fruits during our short stay at Corbett.

No idea about the size of the ripe ones.

It was a small plant, barely 2-3 feet. Not a tree.

Aarti

  It is Citrus japonica Thunb. as per images and details herein.

Thanks Garg Ji.

But there is a difference in both the flowers, these and the ones seen in Delhi. 

Both identified as the same Species.
