The scientific name would be Citrus medica.
etrog (אתרוג) is already Hebrew. It's the Hebrew word for "citron," a yellow citrus fruit.
There are a selection of etrog recipes avaialble online (called "citron" in English), including etrog jam, etrog syrup, etrog cake, and etrog vodka. But I've read that etrogs are extremely high in pesticides since they are sold for ritual purposes & not for eating. The nicer they are, the more expensive they are, thus the extra pesticides.
An etrog tree, just like lemons grow on lemon trees and oranges grow on orange trees. Etrogs are a very primitive relative of the lemon, and they are also considered a variety of citron, which just means lemon in some language but means thick skinned varieties with lots of seeds and hardly any juice in English. So, you can say that Etrogs grow on Citron trees. In any case, it's a variety of citrus fruit and without fruit, it's hard to tell the difference between etrog, lemon and lime trees.

In addition, there are Chinese and Bengal (India and Bangladesh) varieties that is not used in Jewish ritual. In all cases, the bush (or small tree) blooms several times a year, and the fruit may hang on the tree for some time after it ripens.

The lulav is a palm branch used as one of the four species on the Sukkot festival. It is tied together with three myrtle branches (hadassim) and two willow branches (aravot). The last of the 4 species is the etrog (citron, looks rather like a lemon) which is held in the other hand at the same time.
