[[File:CSIRO ScienceImage 3592 New lime varieties bred from native Australian limes.jpg|thumb|[[Blood Lime]] (biggest, red), Sunrise Lime (orange, pear-shaped) and the Outback Lime, a small, green cultivar of the desert lime]]
A number of [[cultivar]]s have been developed in recent years. These can be grafted on to standard [[citrus rootstocks]].
