From Wikipedia
The Key lime (Citrus aurantifolia) is a citrus species with a globose fruit, 2.5-5 cm in diameter (1-2 in), that is yellow when ripe but usually picked green commercially. It is smaller, seedier, has a higher acidity, a stronger aroma, and a thinner rind than that of the Persian lime (Citrus x latifolia). It is valued for its unique flavor compared to other limes, with the key lime usually having a more tart and bitter flavor. The name comes from its association with the Florida Keys, where it is best known as the flavoring ingredient in Key lime pie. It is also known as West Indian lime, 'Bartenders lime, Omani lime, Tahitian lime or Mexican lime''', the latter classified as a distinct race with a thicker skin and darker green color.

- This is my absolute favorite kind of pie. But since I'm following a diet plan at the moment, pie doesn't really fit in. But key lime YOGURT does. Still, I can dream by looking at your lens. (Lickin' my lips as my tummy rumbles.)
