Tahiti or persian lime did not originate from Tahiti nor from Persia (it only passed through) as the origin is still undefined.
It is usually round or oval with a small nipple at the apex. The size is large, usually bigger than a goftball and of cause, bigger than the "key lime". It is vivid green and will turn yellow when ripe. Unripe green is more popular due to the stronger acidic taste and zest.
