Thanks, Saroj ji and Sawmliana ji.

Both species appear quite close as per GBIF specimens:

https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/gallery?taxon_key=3662568 (Mangifera linearifolia- all specimens from Thailand)

https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/gallery?taxon_key=3662645 (Mangifera khasiana Pierre - all specimens from India, but no fruiting specimen)

Hi, Sawmliana ji,

What are the species reported from your area ?

Going by leaf venation as per specimen, I think close to Mangifera khasiana Pierre (Distribution: India (Meghalaya), Sikkim as per Catalogue of Life).

As per SPECIES OF MANGIFERA - Bioversity International, Mangifera linearifolia is not mentioned anywhere (probably a syn. as per them).

In India, M.indica, M. khasiana, M.andamanica and M. sylvatica only are mentioned.

So it is most likely to be M. khasiana.

Are these images from the same tree in MS Nov., 2020/01 Mangifera for ID ?

Here the beak of the fruit looks different.

But I am not able to find the description of M. khasiana.

Sampath ji has stated in another thread (Mangifera sylvatica?) that 'The fruits of the M sylvatica as per Flora of India, 4.5-6 cm long and 2.5-3 cm wide. The fruits are acuminate with protruded tips in M. khasiana and M. sylvatica'.

If this is true, it may be M.indica only.

Going by the Mangifera keys, it may be Mangifera indica only.
