Correct. Hortus Third says bergamot (Citrus aurantium ssp. bergamia)
but is probably not grown in the United States. The so-called bergamot
orange of Florida and California is Citrus aurantium ssp aurantium
'Bouquet'.

The webpage below from Purdue University agrees with Hortus Third:
http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/m...ur_orange.html

The webpage also says that 'Bouquet' has "small, deep-orange fruits,
acid, with few seeds" is under 10 feet tall and "is grown as an
ornamental."

No, (according to Mabberley) what the French call bergamot is Citrus
aurantium ssp bergamia as opposed to what is bergamot in the US which is a
cultivar of Citrus aurantium ssp aurantium.
