Garcinia dulcis (Roxb.) Kurz

Garcinia dulcis (Roxb.) Kurz. Garcinia dulcis is a species of tropical fruit tree native to the tropical Asia, ranging from northeastern India, to Indochina, Peninsular Malaysia, the Philippines, Borneo, Java, the Lesser Sunda Islands, Sulawesi, the Maluku Islands), New Guinea, and Queensland (Australia). It was domesticated early and spread inland into mainland Asia. It is commonly known as mundu or munu in Indonesia and Malaysia, baniti or taklang-anak in the Philippines, and maphuut or ma phut in Thailand. In English, it is sometimes known as yellow mangosteen, although that name is used for several other species as well.
