I believe fruit of *C. medica* to be oblongish, or could even be of irregular (and strange) shape, rarely (¿ or never ?) spherical. I have some photos of C. medica: http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=Citrusmedica&m=tags&ss=0&ct=0&w=91314344%40N00&adv=1
Friends, I went on to put common names of *C. medica* in this post, and so has Swagat ji. However, Raghu ji's query for confirming ID in his post is yet pending ... please comment. Regards.
