Garcinia prainiana
1890Summary
Garcinia prainiana, known as the button mangosteen or cherapu, is a species of flowering plant in the family Clusiaceae. It is small or medium-sized tree which is native to Peninsular Malaysia and Peninsular Thailand. Its fruit has a flavor similar to its cousin, the purple mangosteen, with an interesting taste some have compared to a tangerine, but unlike its cousin it has a tissue-thin skin rather than a hard rind, making it much easier to eat out-of-hand. Also unlike the purple mangosteen, it can be grown in a container. The fruit is cultivated widely in Southeast Asia. In the United States, success has been found with its cultivation by a few backyard growers in South Florida and the Whitman Tropical Fruit Pavilion at Florida's Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden. It was featured in Malaysian 30 cents stamp in 1999. ...read more on Wikipedia.
