Field Notes

Description:

A very small lime. The ripe fruit usually measures only about 1 inch in diameter.

Notes:

The locals here call it Jeruk Sambal, and use it in hot chili sauce (called sambal). The fruit is sour and slightly bitter.

Must be the climate or type of lime. Our limes don't ever have much scent.
Thanks. :) The lime flowers smell very sweet, and attract lots of butterflies.
