Recorded names

A shared name does not by itself establish an identical cultivar. Place, language and source matter.

Philippine mango

Existing catalogue label. It may be an alternate name, translation or market nickname; it is not an assertion of genetic identity.

A country name that needs a little care

Documented name: the history of the first tree remains unresolved.

Philippine is recorded as a named mango in living collections, while genetic research also uses “Carabao (Philippine).” Those overlapping labels are part of the fruit’s travel through nurseries and research stations.

This guide retains its Philippine entry because that is the label in the catalogue, but the available evidence does not establish it as a cultivar distinct from Carabao. There is no separate founder story to invent. Asking which collection or mother tree supplied the fruit is the next step toward resolving the name.
