Those look a lot like what we call Key limes here, or Mexican limes--the sort you need to make a proper Key lime pie--only a bit smaller.

I was about to say the same thing. I wonder if they're saltier like Key limes are.

Y'know, I had always wondered what the difference was, that made Key limes so special. I will taste for saltiness against a regular lime, and let y'all know.

Keys/Mexicans tend to be rounder and smaller, and are more of a yellow green than the vivid shade of green you see in Persian limes.
I'd have to taste-test the two side by side (or get someone with a better nose/sense of taste to do it) to say more..
