Lumia (citrus)
A recent genomic analysis of several species commonly called 'lemons' or 'limes' revealed that the various individual lumias have different genetic backgrounds. The 'Hybride Fourny' was found to be an F1 hybrid of a citron- pomelo cross, while the 'Jaffa lemon' was a more complex cross between the two species, perhaps an F2 hybrid. The Pomme d'Adam arose from a citron-micrantha cross, while two other lumias, the ‘Borneo’ and ‘Barum’ lemons, were found to be citron-pomelo-micrantha mixes.
Limonlu, Mersin
Like most Mediterranean coastal towns, Limonlu produces fresh vegetables and fruits. The town has specialized in citrus production and in fact the name of the town means "with lemon". But lately, tourism has almost replaced agriculture as being the most important economic activity. In Limonlu coastal band, there are many summer houses owned by city dwellers (). The coastal band is also used for tent camps. Most of the town houses on the other hand, are rented as summer boarding houses.
