Add Tag | Summary: | Kochummen (1989) identified 15 mango species in Malaya, primarily found in lowlands and hills. He discovered two new species based on Hou's (1978) research and merged M. longipes Griff. into M. indica L., extending its natural range into the Malesian region. Mangifera indica L., commonly known as mango, is extensively cultivated in Malaysia and is the only commercially significant species of the Mangifera genus. Other edible species in Malaysia include M. odorata Griff. (kuini), M. foetida Lour. (bacang), M. pentandra Hook. f. (mempelam bemban), and M. caesia Jack (binjai), grown in villages. Additionally, four lesser-known wild species include M. quadrifida Jack (asam kumbang), M. griffithii Hook. f. (rawa), M. longipetiolata King (sepam), and M. lagenifera Griff. (lanjut). |
