Common Indian Mango

Mangifera indica is native to regions including Colombia, Brazil, and other parts of the Americas, as well as Easter Island and several Caribbean and Pacific islands. The species was first published in 1753. The type specimen has been a subject of discussion, with various authors proposing different specimens. Linnaean collections have been considered, but later additions were not original. Some researchers have treated illustrations as the holotype, with Bornstein's choice being accepted. The mango tree is widely recognized for its fruit and is an important species in the Anacardiaceae family.
