The flowers and young fruit of the Kaffir. Lime, Caffre. Lime of Mauritius. Papeda (<i>Citrus hystrix</i>), an evergreen shrub or small tree most probably native to Southeast Asia, though it has been so long in cultivation that it has become widely naturalised and its origins obscured. It is 15-45m tall, has spiny stems and small fragrant white flowers that are followed by yellow-green fruits that resemble warty lemon when mature but which have a puckered surface texture when young. The fruits and the leaves, which are constricted to the midrib near the centre, are widely used in Asian cooking. citrus-2140htm'>Citrus.
