Garcinia dulcis is a tropical fruit tree native to the Philippines, Java, Lesser Sunda Islands, eastern Indonesia (Sulawesi, Kalimantan, and the Maluku Islands), New Guinea and Queensland. It was domesticated early and spread inland into mainland Asia.
The fruit has a single flat, oblong pit that can be fibrous or hairy on the surface and does not separate easily from the pulp. [4] The fruits may be somewhat round, oval, or kidney -shaped, ranging from 5–25 centimetres (2–10 in) in length and from 140 grams (5 oz) to 2 kilograms (5 lb) in weight per individual fruit. [ 4 ]
The fruit is a berry with fleshy endocarp, [4] which in several species is delicious. Among neotropical Garcinia several species are dioecious (G. leptophylla, G. macrophylla [citation needed] and G. magnifolia), although male and female trees have often been observed to have some degree of self-fertility.
The fruit is a fleshly drupe of globose shape measuring 15–20 cm across and has a rough skin, which is 5-7 millimeters thick. The wild mango fruits are green when unripe and change to a brown color when ripe. The flesh is yellow, thick and very fibrous.
The fruit of the mangosteen is sweet and tangy, juicy, somewhat fibrous, with fluid-filled vesicles (like the flesh of citrus fruits), with an inedible, deep reddish-purple colored rind when ripe. [5] [6] In each fruit, the fragrant edible flesh that surrounds each seed is botanically endocarp, i.e., the inner layer of the ovary.
Mangochi was founded by colonial administrator Sir Harry Johnston in the 1890s as a British colonial defence post on the littoral plain of the Shire River's western shore. [2] After this, Fort Johnston – as the town was then known – was an important slave market and administrative centre.
Garcinia intermedia is a species of tropical American tree which produces edible fruit. [2] In English it is known as the lemon drop mangosteen (a name it shares with the closely related and similarly tasting Garcinia madruno) or sometimes monkey fruit. In Spanish it is called mameyito, though it is known as jorco in Costa Rica. [3]
