Is it only in the Islands of Trinidad and Tobago that these Variations of limes grow?

Question

We are getting so close to our trip and the excitment is uncontainable.

Question. My friend told me that there are so many variations of lime and I wanted to know if that is so true.

There is a lime that grows by the beach.

There is a lime that grows in town.

There is one called a "buss-a-lime"

But what really baffeled me is that he said that the locals celebrate the blossoming of these limes..

So please let me know if these variations of limes only grow in the forest or can they be found anywhere in the islands?
