What is it for citrus?
Probably ponderosa.They said that it is a hybrid of lemon and grapefruit.

brian:
I'm not very good at identifying these but it does look very much like a ponderosa lemon I once owned.  They are really cool trees, the fruit is huge. 

Chas:
C. lemon 'Lipo' is also a hybrid of lemon and grapefruit! It is absolutely the same as Ponderosa just the fruit rind is a good indicator!  ;)

Chas:
Sorry, to be more precise:
C. Lemon 'Lipo'(Imperial Lemon) is belived to be C. Limon x C. paradisi.
C. lemon Ponderosa is believed to be Citrus limon × medica.
Both plants are similar regarding leaves, grow habit, blossoms just the fruit taste is different, Lipo has poor lemon aroma.  :(
I've also C. Lemon nine pounder(no fruit yet) which is very similar with Ponderosa and Imperial Lemon just has few nice thorns.
