I believe this is another name for Calamondin.

I have Bicol Calamondin (or Calamansi) planted from seed, more than 5 years ago, and it isn't fruiting yet in California Climate. Yes in the tropics, it takes just about 3 years. Over here, due to shorter growing season per year, the length of time could double.
