A lemon tree can reach a height of 10 meters (30 feet), although the average tree is generally smaller. The branches are thorny, and form an open crown. The leaves are green, shiny and elliptical-acuminate. Flowers are white on the outside with a violet streaked interior and have a strong fragrance. The fruit grows underneath the flowers; as the flower petals fall away, a small green nub is left behind, which matures into the fruit. On a healthy lemon tree, flowers and ripe fruits can often be found at the same time

 The name Limonum is drived from the Arabic Limun or Limu, which in turn probably comes from the Sanscrit Nimbuka. There are several different varietes of citrus medica only differing in the character of their fruits. The principle ones are lemon, citron or cedrate, and lime. The Bergamot is closely related. The trees reached Europe by way of Persia or Media and were grown first in Greece and then in Italy in the second century Lemon juice is probably the best of all antiscorbutics, being almost a specific in scurvy.
