Lemon I D
The fruit
Round, smooth skin, 2-3 inch diameter, seed less, very good flavour, fruits in bunches up to six at tip of a branch, very weak main trunk can not support the weight of fruit/foliage, branches droop down to ground level, left un disturbed will form a bush rather than a tree, the branches are thorn less.
Regards
Arif

Meyer Lemon is a small to medium size orange yellow skinned citrus with a lemon like flesh that is juicy, but considerably less acidic and much sweeter than common lemons.
Ref, http://users.kymp.net/citruspages/lemons.html#limoneiro
It does not fit with any on this page.

Re: Lemon I D
The picture and description seems to match with Citrus limettioides. The key thing is an inconspicuous nipple on the fruit.
See this link:
http://www.citrusvariety.ucr.edu/citrus/maryellen.html
"C. limettiodes, is a newly-selected lime originating in Mexico where similar fruits are referred to as “lima dolce.” The mature tree is medium-large with a spreading habit. The flowers are pure white and the new leaves are bright green. The fruits are small, round to slightly oval with a smooth pale green to greenish-yellow rind at maturity. The flesh is pale yellow, tender and juicy, and has a few seeds. The flavor is insipid due to the lack of acidity in the fruit, but is appealing to some. "

Farooq, the description does not fit at all.
Its fruit is large not small, the flesh is white not orangish and it is not sweet.

Re: Lemon I D
If you can provide more pictures especiallyshowing flower and leaf morphology, along with a sectioned lemon, I can post to another botanical forum. We had simila lookingr lemons in our previous house, and we thought it is "kaaghazi leemu'n". Certainly yours is a hybrid or cross variety.Muhammad Arif Khan wrote:Farooq, the description does not fit at all.

Re: Lemon I D
The fruit is in bunches too and the branches droop down due to weight of fruit.
