Citrus limon

Citrus Tree

The subject is identified as a citrus tree based on its glossy, simple, lanceolate leaves arranged alternately on green stems. The presence of a single yellowing leaf is a common sign of senescence or nutrient deficiency frequently observed in cultivated citrus. While species-level identification is difficult from foliage alone, the overall morphology is highly consistent with a common citrus variety like a lemon tree.
