[efloraofindia:For Id 07052012MR1] Rutaceae Week :: Tree called 'Limbu' in Marathi at Pune

[Bhagyashri]

Hello,

Would appreciate your help to know the botanical name of this tree. Also the leaves look peculiar a small leaf at the base and then a bigger leaf.

I had shared these pictures of the plant we call 'Limbu' in Marathi in Sep 2011 at the following

https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#search/efloraofindia%3A''For+Id+30092011MR17%E2%80%99%E2%80%99+lemon+tree+flowers+and+fruit+Pune/132b9ffd752f8185 

The botanical name was not confirmed

I have added some more pictures of the trunk,leaves and fruits of the same. 

Also adding pictures of 2 wet bulbuls sitting on this tree. This incident happened just 2 days ago. There was a puddle of water below this tree and 4-5 bulbuls were enjoying getting wet in this water. They would then sit on this tree and fluff themselves up either to dry themselves or with joy I do not know.

Thanks and Regards

I hope Citrus medica, the citron. Most the nimbu or Limbu grown in private gardens usually identifies as citron,
