Bearss (Persian) lime. Excellent limes, very high in juice, seedless.

Thank you very much, Patty. I was confused whether its Bearrs or thornless/seedless Mexican (key) lime. They look so similar.

Their fruits are very different, ToeKnee, as well as the leaf structure. The Seedless Mexican lime fruits are more like the regular Mexican limes - small and round (and hard). Their leaves are much smaller that Bearss lime leaves. The classic sign you have a Bearss lime is that they drop off when yellow. And, they have a ovate shape with a nipple at the end and are much larger, softer and juicier.

Thank you so much for your help and expertise in identifying! I just love these limes, their flavor is soooo good! Happy Citrus times :)
