Taxonomy
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]
