No refs but Googling for "ライム" +  "石灰" brings up a lot of pages where ライム is used with that meaning. Seems to be particularly in gardening.

  Comments:
These two "limes" have completely separate etymologies but our policy thus far has been not to split if the English spelling and pronunciation are the same.
Is there a source for sense 2? I'm not seeing it any of my refs. Wikipedia says "英語で石灰のこと", which suggests it's not used in Japanese.

Possibly not. The refs seem only to mention sense 1.
