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

Peru
Broad local label in INIA’s Peruvian propagation guidance.
- Criollo de Chulucanas
Local form named in INIA’s propagation guidance; not asserted to cover every Criollo mango.
Local seedlings support the grafted orchard
Documented name: the history of the first tree remains unresolved.
INIA’s propagation leaflet describes Criollo de Chulucanas as a common source of seedling rootstocks in Peru. These roots support grafted varieties whose fruit bears another name. Criollo is retained here as a local category; the source does not establish one founding tree for every mango carrying that label.
