  • Question

    I have a couple of pictures of a lemon like fruit, which many hanging facets, of skin through and through. May be used to get Lemon Oil. Nobody where I am has ever seen this before. Nor have I. I'd like to send the two pictures, and see if it can be identified. Can you identify what this is from the picture below ?

    Answer

    Dear dermage1, from the image alone, I am unable to help. There is much information that would be useful to me that perhaps you can supply. Is the plant herbaceous or woody? Is it cultivated or wild? Most importantly, what part of the world is this plant from? Feel free to send this information to my email at ahaines[at]newenglandwild.org.
