No other tropical fruit has been so highly praised as the mangosteen, Garcinia mangostanaL., which belongs to the natural family Guttiferae. It has been called the "queen of fruits," and the "finest fruit in the world." Its flavor has been compared with nectar and ambrosia. Popenoeo *states that the combination of beautiful coloring with delicate enticing flavor entitles the mangosteen to rank above all other fruits of the Asiatic tropics. The mangosteen compares well with finely flavored peaches, pears and nectarines, and has none of the insipid or mawkish flavor ascribed to other tropical fruits.
