Could it perhaps be alternative spelling of 'Alemow'? - phonetically very similar.
This is Citrus macrophylla:
Alemow is a hybrid of Celebes papeda (Citrus celebica) with a species of the subgenus Citrus, probably a pomelo (Citrus maxima). It has been tried as a rootstock for lemons in California.
This hybrid, named C. macrophylla by Wester is sometimes cultivated in Cebu, Philippine Islands. It has large leaves, with the blades 12 to 14 cm long and 6 to 8 cm wide, with much smaller, subtriangular, short-winged petioles, measuring up to 3.5 cm wide near the top. The fruits are very large, 8.5 to 10 cm in diameter, subglobose to oblong, more or less narrowed at the base, with a rough, transversely-corrugated, but rather thin skin. The fruit has 13 to 16 segments and rather dry, sour pulp, considered inedible even by the natives.
