中型亞熱帶柑橘屬喬木的物種，具狹翼之葉片呈長卵圓形，具小型球狀黃綠色果實，原產於東南亞，之後被引進中東、北非、西西里島和西班牙。酸橙約於西元12到13世紀時傳入歐洲，哥倫布將柑橘類水果帶至西印度群島，並於該地廣為流傳，包括佛羅里達礁島群（其俗名「礁島酸橙」（key lime）便是由此而來）以及加州。此種水果在商業上都是挑選綠色外皮者，並且比稱為「萊姆」（lime）的其他柑橘類水果稍甜一點。酸橙油通常由水蒸氣蒸餾製備而成，用於調味、製作香水、殺蟲劑與防腐劑。此植物的果實可做為調味劑，同時也是維他命C的來源。

It was introduced to the Middle East, North Africa, Sicily, and Spain.

The fruit is usually picked green commercially, and is somewhat sweeter than other citrus fruits called "lime." Lime oil is normally prepared by steam distillation.
