Garcinia xanthochymus Explanation: La pianta non è il mangostano, ma ha caratteristiche simili ad esso ( http://www.fruitlovers.com/fruittreedescriptions.html ). I siti di seguito ti danno diversi possibili nomi, botanici e comuni (purtroppo non in Italiano, probabilmente perché qui da noi non è diffusa). Ci si riferisce comunque e sempre a Garcinia xanthochymus . http://cookislands.bishopmuseum.org/googlelist.asp?page=25 http://nomen.at/Garcinia xanthochymus http://zipcodezoo.com/Plants/G/Garcinia_xanthochymus/ |
