EN: a type of native citrus (Citrus hystrix)
This is the OG, super-native lime that your lola might use. It's not your everyday calamansi. It's more intense, more aromatic, and has a wrinkly, 'I've seen things' kind of skin. Think of it as the artisanal, heritage version of a lime, used for dishes like papaitan or for a really potent 'pangkulob'.
Native Austronesian word.
Also known as 'combava' or 'kaffir lime' in English, though the latter term is sometimes considered offensive in other cultures. The leaves are as aromatic as the fruit.
