Mangifera odorata (commonly known as kwini,[3] kweni, kuweni, kuwini, or Saipan mango[2]) is a species of plant in the family Anacardiaceae.[1] It is commonly found along coastal towns or travel routes in Southeast Asia.[4] "Also found in Peninsular Thailand, South Sulawesi and in Philippines on South coast of Mindanao, in Sulu Archipelago and neighboring islands".[4] "It is a well known fruit tree commonly cultivated in villages throughout Southeast Asia".[5]
M. odorata has a skin that is yellow to green in colour.[4] The flesh of the fruit has an orange to yellow colour and is sour or sweet when eaten.[4] The fruits are round in shape and have a smooth skin that range from yellow-green.[4][6] The flesh of the fruit has an orange to yellow colour and is sour or sweet when eaten.[4] The tree flowers have a pleasant fragrance.[4][6]The fruits are round or oblong in shape and have a skin that ranges from yellow-green.[4][6]
Description
Morphology
Mangifera odorata is a fruit plant that grows approximately 10-15 m in height, hardly ever growing past 20 m.[4] The crown has a wide round shape.[4] The trunk stands in an upright straight position that appears to have a grayish colour "containing and irritant sap".[4] Leaf morphology is "oblong-lance shaped" that has a "non-wavy edge".[4] Veins are also noticeable on the leaf.[4]
The plant has flowers are approximately 6 mm wide, emit a pleasant scent as well as appear to be yellowish-green in colour.[4] The rachis has a reddish-brown colour.[4] Petals are lance-shaped and at the base have a yellowish colour but turn dark red later on.[4] The apex or tip of the petal is pale pink in colour.[4] The sepals which appear to be brown-red or partly green in colour look oval shaped and are roughly 3-4 mm long.[4] Within the flower, there is 1 fertile stamen that serve in reproduction and is about 5 mm in length.[4] The staminodes which are approximately 1.5-2 mm long.[4] Another reproductive organ called the ovary is round in shape, yellowish to dark red and about 3-5 mm in length.[4] The pollen is "elliptic and tapering towards poles"[6]
The fruit has a yellow to green skin colour.[4][6] When it is ripe the skin turns green.[6] The flesh is orange to yellow and can taste sweet or source when consumed.[4] The seed inside is both flat in shape with a hairy/fibrous surface.[4]
Origin and Distribution
Mangifera odorata exact origins are unknown.[4][9] However, the species represents a hybrid between Mangifera indica known as the Indian mango and Mangifera foetida which is known as the horse mango.[4][5][10] M.odorata is native to tropical Asia and can be found in areas such as Philippines, Peninsular Thailand, South Sulawesi, Sulu Archipelago and other close islands".[4] "In Southeast Asia it is an introduced species".[5]
Habitat
Mangifera odorata thrive to grow in tropical wet climates which have both heavy and moderate rainfall.[4] However, they are unable to survive and grow in places that have continuous dry climates.[4] M. odorata is common in cultivation but is not normally grown in the wild.[4]
Pests
Mangifera odorata is known to be a major host of Bactrocera dorsalis, Ciripestis eutraphera, Coptotermes, Coptotermes cuvignathus, Cryptorhynchus frigidus, Deanolis albizonalis, Marasmiellus scandens and Marasmius crinis-equi.[11]
Food/Nutrition
M.odorata is a fruit which can be consumed.[9] While it can be consumed in its raw form, the fruit is usually made or incorporated into something else such as chutneys.[5] M. odorata fruit pulp is also a good source of nutrition.[12] When M.odorata has not reached maturity, its pulp is a good source for "dietary fibre, vitamin C, vitamin E".[12] The mature pulp is good to eat because of "protein, ash, fat, soluble carbohydrate and B vitamin".[12] The fruit's seed kernel is "rich in fat, protein, carbohydrate, and ash".[13] The peel or skin is a great source of "fibre, minerals, β-Carotene and ascorbic acid".[13]
Conservation Status
They are considered to be data deficient and are not label as endangered, threatened, extinct etc.[1] Although, their genetic material is stored in germplasm repositories where it may be used for future cultivar and research uses.[9]
