There are three different named cultivars of limequats:
- Eustis (Citrus japonica (synonym Fortunella japonica) × Citrus aurantiifolia) – Key lime crossed with round kumquat, the most common limequat. It was named after the city of Eustis, Florida.
- Lakeland (Citrus japonica × Citrus aurantiifolia) – Key lime crossed with round kumquat, different seed from same hybrid parent as Eustis. Fruit is slightly larger and contains a few fewer seeds than Eustis. It was named after the city of Lakeland, Florida.
- Tavares (Citrus japonica 'Margarita' × Citrus aurantiifolia) – Key lime crossed with oval kumquat. Fruit is larger and more elongated and color at maturity is more orange than other limequats. It was named after the city of Tavares, Florida.
