I am looking for seeds or cuttings of famous bengal Gandharaj lemon.
If anyone has some for sale, please let me know.

I don't think we have any members on this forum located in India or Pakistan, where the Gandharaj lemon is mostly grown. However, a member might have a contact in that area. - Millet

Finally found a source of Ghandaraj lebu (means King of scent lemon) in India. Right now I got seeds of "Elachi lebu" from this source. Elachi means cardamon and lebu is an Indian word for lemon, because this lemon variety has a cardamon scent.
Does anyone know the english or latin name for this species - I mean cardamon lemon?

Radoslav,

It's Gondhoraj lebu and is similar to the Kaffir lime.
When you search for this,you find a lot.
I have a Kaffir lime [ Djeruk purut ] in Holland and use the leaves off it in several Indonesian and Thai dishes.

Gandharaj lemon has nothing to do with citrus hystrix, Kaffir lime.
