Lemon or citron. With the rounded tips on the leaves, I would go more with some type of citron.
Lemons should have a pointed leaf tip.

Based on the bloom color, I don't think it is a lemon or citron. Lemons have a pink tint to them, and I believe Citrons do too, don't they Lazz?
Sometimes crushing a leaf and smelling it can provide a clue. The leaves often smell like the fruit. The developing fruit will help in identification too. |

Yes Ned, most do have red /purple blooms although some citrons do have white blooms. Could also be a Ponderosa lemon.

Have citrus in a container, and the names go washed away from the plant labels (were laminated), so unable to identify them.
The plants are about a year old, and appear to be mature enough to be grafted...tried using the Citrus Id site...but I can't seem to identify them still.
Successfully managed to identify Ugli and Sanbokan, but not sure about these ones...all are local grocery-bought fruit...Tangerines (Fallglo, Sunburst, et al.), Tangelo (Orlando), or can be a lemon (not sure if Lisbon or Eureka). Otherwise, I'll just have to sell them...

btw, the Petiole is not really prominent.
Thanks, |

Crush the leaf, lemons have a very distinct scent.

What do you mean by "the Petiole is not really prominent."?
There is none or they are small?
If there is none it could be a Citron (Cedra). If they are small we need a picture. |

@Laaz, the top one when crushed emits a lemon-like scent.
@Sylvain, salut. The petiole is basically non-existent for both leaf sets. |

Well, you don't help me very much. 
If there is NO petiole (we say that the leave is not articulated) it is a characteristic of young leaves of CItrons.
If the petiole is very short it can be several things like lemons. |

Joan, where did you get the citrus from? Is this a cutting, a seedling, purchased online?? The most likely answer would be a Meyer lemon if it was bought from an online source. Yes, the flower buds are usually purplish, but not always. If this was grown from seed or from a rooted cutting and from a friend, then it could be one of many different things. Can you give us more info about its origins?
