Fruit is characterized by its warty-bumpy, rough rind and has a lemon-like appearance. The rind is only moderately adherent. The interior of the fruit resembles that of a lime but the segments are only slightly adherent. The rough lemon has no commercial importance except that the plants are frequently used as rootstocks for other Citrus species. This is considered a hybrid between the true lemon and some type of citron.
