# A travelling name that needs local context

Bombay Green is a reminder that a market name can change meaning from one region to another.

Bombay Green — Northern India, including Uttar Pradesh and Haryana

A name on the map

TNAU records Bombay Green under the name Malda in northern India, while listing Bombai separately. A shared market word is not proof that every fruit sold under it is the same cultivar. The first tree and the reason for the Bombay name remain unverified here.

## The names it answers to

**Bombay Green**

The distinct cultivar name in horticultural records.

**Malda**

A northern market synonym recorded by TNAU; also applied to other mangoes, so context matters.
