Re: Mangifera sylvatica?

[digpati roy]

This is from Rajnagar,Kumarghat,Tripura

It is called bon am or laxmi am with little flesh but sweet in taste

The tree is very tall and found in deep forest. It is not cultivated at all.

I suspect it to be Mangifera sylvatica

Please identify

Thank you

What is the size of the fruit vis-à-vis normal Mango ? Is it half in length? Not clear from your images.

Also I do not see pointed portion of the fruit as in

Thanks for the mail. Indeed I've seen the Mangifera sylvatica in Andaman, when I was serving in PortBlair. It is of somewhat sour taste.
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 tip in M. khasiana and M. sylvatica. From the photos given, I think it is of M. indica only!

2 inches. The petiole is long and leaves are different. Forest dept says it is Mangifera sylvatica. No pulp and the seed is big as that of fruit.There are significant patches of red colour on the fruit,so it is laxmi am.

Thank you

I think this may also turn out to be Mangifera khasiana as per discussions at MS Nov., 2020/02 Mangifera sp. (khasiana ?) for Id.

Thanks, Sampath ji.

Based on the keys at Mangifera khasiana description, we should take it M.indica only.
