Citrus limon

Some botanical notes

The origin of this small tree remained uncertain for a long time, particularly due to its inter-varietal diversity. However, according to phylogenetic studies conducted in the 2000s, it originated in the Mediterranean basin. The lemon tree is the result of a natural hybridization between the citron (Citrus medica), the lime (Citrus limetta) and the grapefruit (Citrus paradisi). Its leaves are persistent, oval and lanceolate, its flowers have slightly purplish white petals, and its axils are grouped in small clusters.

A bit of history…

For centuries, the lemon tree had only decorative value. The first iconographies showing lemons date back to Roman times, and traces have been found in Pompeii.

In his Bucolics, Virgil praised its ability to "sweeten the foul breath of the Medes" and to "calm the pulse of trembling elders."

Around the year one thousand, lemon juice was recommended by Avicenna, a famous Persian physician and philosopher, to combat digestive disorders.

Two hundred years before Christopher Columbus crossed the Atlantic, lemons were already carried on ships by Arab navigators to combat scurvy.
