This Citrus fruit tree looks like   the Sour Pomelo or Amilbed (Citrus megaloxycarpa Lush.). The origin of this is still uncertain. Therefore, in the recent Citrus classifications, this entity has not been given a true species status. Please refer to GRIN Taxonomy database (http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?10751) for further details.
