What is the botanical name of mango and orange?

Answer 1

The mango, Mangifera indica, (the only species of mango considered here) is a member of the cashew family, Ancardiaceae. The members of this family are trees or shrubs with inconspicuous flowers often produced in large clusters, the fruit frequently being attractive and edible.

According to Mukherjee, there are 41 species of Mangifera distributed throughout the Indo-Malaysian area from india to New Guinea and the Philippines, 17 of these bearing edible fruit. The thick and leathery, short-pointed leaves are elliptic-oblong or laceolate in shape and are relatively long and narrow, often becoming 12 inches or more in length; they are usually deep green in color when mature but in varying shades of brownish-red in new flushes. The leaves are borne on short petioles (stems) swollen at the base. The stem contains a milky or watery sap which is more prominent in some varieties than others.

The growth of the mango tree occurs in cycles or vegetative flushes and takes place mainly in the spring and summer months when from one to three or more flushes will develop. Flushes do not appear on all branches at one time, rather, only part of the tree or often a few branches will be in an active state of growth during one period.

The tree is evergreen and on rich deep soils attains tremendous size. Grafted Ahaden trees planted 45 feet apart have been seen to meet at the center of the row after 20 yearsÖ Trees believed to be more than 100 years old are common in the Orient.

Flowers are produced from December to March, depending mostly on weather conditions. It is not too uncommon to find individual trees flowering as early as October and November and as late as April and May. If fruit did not set on the first bloom, a second, and even a third bloom might occur. The very late bloom seldom sets fruit. There seems to be little difference in time of bloom in most varieties, but the Edward and Haden usually are the first mangos to come into bloom in a give season (in Florida).

Orange—specifically, sweet orange—refers to the citrus tree Citrus sinensis (syn. Citrus aurantium L. var. dulcis L., or Citrus aurantium Risso) and its fruit. The orange is a hybrid of ancient cultivated origin, possibly between pomelo (Citrus maxima) and tangerine (Citrus reticulata). It is a small angiosperm tree growing to about 10 m tall with evergreen leaves, which are arranged alternately, of ovate shape with crenulate margins and 4-10 cm long. The orange fruit is a hesperidium.

The word "orange" ultimately comes from Sanskrit narang or Tamil "naraththai". Oranges originated in southeast Asia, in either India, Vietnam or southern China. The fruit of Citrus sinensis is called sweet orange to distinguish it from Citrus aurantium, the bitter orange. In a number of languages, it is known as a "Chinese apple" (e.g. Dutch Sinaasappel (China's apple)).

Answer 7

Mango: Mangifera
Orange: Citrus sinensis

The orange is one specific species, Citrus sinensis. Various varieties such as naval oranges and Valencia oranges are the product of single mutations or selective cultivation, and are therefore cultivars (a specific type of plant that is recognized with a trade name) of the same species. The Mandarin orange is a different species, Citrus reticulata.

Mangoes are actually an entire genus of fruits, Mangifera, consisting of about 35 different species and over a thousand cultivars.
