Many thanks for validating the ID, Gurcharan ji. Read through Vijayasankar's post. Had come to believe that *C. medica* may assume longish shape, sometimes not even symmetrical, with the hard texture while *C. longlimon* relatively of softer texture approaching regular sour lime that we use. Also thinking that Assam lemons are not grown in Pune - that however is an unjustified thought. Please help clear my thoughts.
