For what it\'s worth, all of the refs. I\'ve found in English agree that the family lime trees belong to is \"Rutaceae\". Here\'s another one.
Lime: in botany, small shrublike tree (Citrus aurantifolia) of the family Rutaceae (rue family), one of the citrus fruit trees, similar to the lemon but more spreading and irregular in growth.

However, if you are inclined to use a word that is more similar to the one you have in Spanish, please note that it is Aurantiaceae with a T and not a C (there are only 2 refs to the C spelling, both of which are translations):

Tiliaceae
I am not sure if this is the same tree, but if you have the Latin name you can check. This is what I found for Lime tree:
Latin names: Tilia cordata Miller or Tilia platyphyllus Scop.
or Tilia x europea L. syn. T. x vulgaris Hayne
Botanical family: Tiliaceae
Common names: Lime tree or Linden tree or tilleul
The word lime derives from an Old English word Lynde or Lind.
The Tilia genus is a family of some 45 deciduous trees spread through the
temperate Northern part of the hemisphere.
Lime trees grow spontaneously in England and many parts of Europe, and can
live a very long time, the longest living tree is recorded to be over 700 years old.

Gerardo Garcia Ramis
: The Tiliaceae is a completely different family. // Sin duda, y el binomio latino correcto de la lima (la usual, no de Tahiti o Rangpur, que son triploides), partiendo de que es una auranciácea, es Citrus aurantifolia - no hay sitio web que lo cambie.

check this link: http://www.bioimages.org.uk/HTML/T273.HTM The only way of knowing for sure is to know the Latin name of the plant in question

The Rutaceae and tiliaceae are different families. I think you can write in latin name "auranciaceae".

auranciaceae
Although I agree my colleagues that rutaceae is indeed a more commonly used term, I would stick with the term of the source text, which generates the hits I listed and is also used, or I would do this: auranciaceae (rutaceae),which is often done when there is more than one name for a supposedly international taxonomic term which was created to avoid confusion in the first place! There are several others of these in the botanical world: fabaceae and leguminosae are both used for the bean and pea family, poaceae and graminaceae are both used for the grass family, brassicaceae and cruciferaceae are both used for the cabbage family, etc. And since arancio = orange in Italian, I can see where this term came from. Tiliaceae are indeed known as lime trees in British English, and basswoods or lindens in American English, but that is a much different family than auranciaceae (rutaceae).
