Mangifera gedebe (also known as kedepir, gedepir, repeh,[2] and kepi[3]) is a species of plant in the family Anacardiaceae.[4] It is a tree, and can grow up to 30 metres tall and up to 60 centimetres diameter at breast height, though it usually grows to about 15 metres tall and 45 centimetres diameter at breast height.[5] It produces obliquely subrotund drupes. The drupes are very sour, and they are only edible when unripe, as when ripe the pulp is too scanty and hard. A 1991 article said that the species is rare and urgently requires conservation in Eastern Borneo[3]; in 2014, the species's status on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species was Near Threatened.[6]
