Anyway, here's C. taiwanica in Eisenhut nursery (their Nr. 171):

Yes, in the very beginning I also thought Nansho Daidai and Citrus Taiwanica was always the same thing, but there are many Taiwanica cultivars. But most of them seem pretty rare or not really cultivated, and Nansho Daidai seems the only one that has a commonly known name.
From the pictures it looks like Eisenhut has the 'actual' Nansho Daidai cultivar. I think it's likely the same as the one that pagnr talks about as 'instantly recognisable'.
Do you know if Eisenhut sells and ships scions? I'm in Belgium.

Would bigger leaves be the result of more sun then? Or the opposite?
--- Quote ---Tai-tri (taiwanica x trifoliate) has narrow leaves like your plant from Lenzi. Maybe they are selling hybrids or off-types?

I couldn't say for sure, but like I wrote above, there are actually many cultivars of c. taiwanica, so they could be true taiwanica, just not the Nansho Daidai cultivar.

In my experience less light = bigger leaves. This happens to me indoors under artificial lighthing, though I imagine the same could happen if they were greenhouse grown with less intense sunlight or if you kept them in the shade.

Ah, for me the bigger leaves grew in the height of summer in a sunny spot haha
The smaller leaves were there when I received it from Lenzi.

lol interesting well I am out of ideas, hope you find the narrow leaf type! those huge leaves do remind me of pomelo leaves (minus the petiole)
