The mango
The mango is
a fleshy stone fruit belonging
to the genus Mangifera, consisting of numerous
tropical fruiting trees in
the flowering plant family Anacardiaceae. The mango is native to South
Asia, from where it has been
distributed worldwide to become one of the most cultivated fruits in
the tropics. While other Mangifera species
(e.g. horse mango, M. foetida) are also grown on a more
localized basis, Mangifera indica –
the 'common mango' or 'Indian mango' – is the only mango tree commonly
cultivated in many tropical and subtropical regions.
It is the national fruit of India Pakistan and
the Philippines, and the national tree of Bangladesh.
