Garcinia Mangostana Var. Malaccensis

Garcinia mangostana var. malaccensis is a lesser-known variant of the mangosteen plant native to Southeast Asia. This plant is characterized by its striking red-purple rind and tart, segmented fruit. While it shares some traits with the common mangosteen, it exhibits unique botanical features that set it apart. Due to its rarity and limited cultivation, it is often overlooked in favor of its more famous relative. Despite its obscurity, it holds potential for both culinary and medicinal uses.
