The Kalpi (Citrus x webberii) is a natural hybrid lemon that is one of the most common lemon varieties in Hawaii:
Origin: The Kalpi is native to the Philippines and is thought to have been brought to Hawaii by Filipino immigrants. The name comes from the Bicol region of southern Luzon.

Other names: The Kalpi is also known as the Malayan lemon.
Confusion: The Kalpi is often confused with small Italian lemons and the larger rough-skinned "Jambiri" lemon
