do you ate never this citrus? and know other variety like this?

Mark in Texas:
Many forum members are growing this including myself.  It's thought to be a cross between a lemon and either a tangerine or orange.  A quick Google came up with such - http://www.citrusvariety.ucr.edu/citrus/improvedmeyer.html

Be sure it is true to form, the 'Improved' variety (no tristeza), and on a rootstock that pairs well with your soil's profile, structure and pH.  I grafted it to Flying Dragon which is a dwarfing rootstock that also imparts a certain degree of cold hardiness to the scion.

Good luck,
Mark

meyer lemon, it's the only tropical i have that is actually fruiting now. It fruits well when small. Good choice for starters, before you get bit by the citrus bug and want to have them all  ;D .

Meyer lemon isn't sweet.  Also, I never found it to have a true lemon flavor.

gaberec:
I live in Italy and I hope to find this variety ..... when is small fruit well hence needs a prune every year for stay small?


Mark the link which you posted is wonderful .... there are many hybrids

for example with grapefruit there is this
Frost Marsh grapefruit
Citrus paradisi Macfadyen
