C. macrophylla

Binomial name
Citrus macrophylla

Wester

Citrus macrophylla, also known as alemow,[1] is a citrus tree and fruit, belonging to the papedas.

The trees are short in stature, more tropical in nature than most citrus, and are very spiny.

## Taxonomy

[edit]

Alemow is rare and poorly studied, a likely hybrid between the citron and biasong (C. micrantha).[2] The large fruits are considered inedible by local populations, though the plants are infrequently cultivated for medicinal and other uses. [citation needed] It has been tried in California as a possible rootstock for other citrus.[3]
