Is this the same bitter orange that they obtain bergamot oil from?

ber·ga·mot (būr'g?-mot')
n.
1..
1.. A small tree (Citrus aurantium subsp. bergamia) commercially grown
chiefly in southern Italy for its sour citrus fruits, the rinds of which
yield an aromatic oil. Also called bergamot orange.
2.. The oil itself, used extensively in perfumery. Also called bergamot
oil.
2.. See bee balm.
[French bergamote, from Italian bergamotta, from Turkish dialectal
beg-armudu, bey's pear : beg, bey; see bey + armud, pear + -u, possessive
