    That is most odd. I can't think of any citrus that has either that growth habit or fluorescent pink hairs on the leaves.... are you sure that there were no fragments of previously potted plants either in the pot or the potting medium? One relatively common houseplant that springs to mind with hot pink hairs on dark green leaves is Gynura.... does it look anything like this??

    Kiwi vine?

    I have one in my garden and it's the same, quick strong growth, impossible to kill off, fluorescent pink hairs all over.

    Do a Google search and see if that's it.
