Will someone please check their catalogs and let me know the ID of the citrus fruit is this 1977 Syria set?
Thank you very much. 
(Different catalogs might have different names.)

The others being lemon, lime, grapefruit & tangerines.

My Michel Overseas Vol. 10 (Near East) says the same thing as Scott - lemon, lime, grapefruit, oranges, tangerines. Stanley Gibbons Part 19 Middle East is also the same (with the tiny difference that they see only one tangerine ...).

Ryan brightonpete Thank you for the identity information. Quite helpful. I have to say that is the oddest "lime" I recall ever seeing.

It looks like an Ugli fruit to me. I've never seen a shriveled up lime before...

"ugli Fruit" is an interesting web search. The fruit is indeed citrus, and as the name implies isn't pretty to see, but it is reported to be quite juicy and delicious.
Looks like I am going to expand the scope of my Orange Philately collection to Citrus Philately.
