I see 2 different ones now
1. Citrus medica
2. FINGERED CITRON, Citrus medica var. sarcodactylus which is also Buddah's
Hand

The picture of one that Bugialli was showing in his book was the citrus
medica, not the buddah's hand. I guess one would have to dig deeper in a
taste test to decide which is the best.
