It's quince.
The portuguese have a kind of quince preserve called "marmelada", (quinces = "marmelos" in portuguese). Given the similarity of the word to marmalade, I have a feeling that the english or french probably adopted the word for their citrus jams.
(extra bit of info: the "-ada" suffix is a past tense ending, so marmelada means literally "quinced". Another jam called "goiabada" is made in Brazil with guavas/goiabas...)

Oranges, as far as I can remember although I think you can make marmalade from other fruits.
