Scurvy is a vitamin C deficiency. Oranges have about 53mg of vitiman C as compared to Lemons 46, grapefruit 34 and limes 29. .

And now for even more pointless trivia. Everyone connects limes with scurvy because of it's use by British sailors to prevent scurvy during a short in brittish naval history. In face Limes replaced lemons because limes were more readily available from Britain's own Caribbean colonies. Lemon juice was reintroduced after scurvy again became a problem because of lime juice lacking sufficient vitamin C. (taken from wikipedia and QI)

Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.
