Striata, consolei...
It's a nice variety that I would add to my collection if I still had room.
I don't know how common it is in the states, but $50 seems kinda expensive to me... Embarassed Laughing

I believe this is Seville & not very common. It and the Abers & also a red lime that I killed all came from a guy in north FL back in 2003 or 2004.

This brings up a good question. Florida used to have some citrus growers that specialized in all of these rare varieties. I remember looking at many web sites from FL back in the early 2000's that had citrus I never heard of or saw before. All of these sites are now gone & I wonder with greening if the majority of these rare plants are now gone forever. Looking back, I wish I got a lot more of the rare stuff that was available.

Yes, in Europe there are many ancient citrus varieties. Here in the USA, the only interest is in sweet good tasting citrus. If it's not, nobody seems to want it. It's a pretty sad situation & many old varieties may disappear forever.

Well, at least the european varities are not endangered.
They are part of many Citrus Collections and standard in nurseries.

Many of the Citrus aurantium varities are also used as allee trees and in parks.
