Hi,
Found this mango in an ancient orchard with giat trees in Kuching, Borneo. Tastes exactly like oranges. Video on youtube

Any ideas about the species? Thank you

Could be Mangifera quadrifida.

Thank you. Any other suggestions? Borneo mangos are quite difficult

I also think it`s Mangifera quadrifida. On this website:
http://www.kujie2.com/wordless-wednesday/buah-asam-kumbang.html,
M. quadrifida is called Buah Asam (Kumbang). Here some information about M. quadrifida
http://tropical.theferns.info/viewtropical.php?id=Mangifera+quadrifida,
it should have a prune-like smell. Or it could be some rare Mangifera species, of wich there are no pictures or information on the internet. I hope I could help at least a bit.

With the aroma of oranges it may be a distant relative of Dusheri and PPK, no way to know without testing, but speculation is that they share a common ancestor. PPK is from Myanmar.

Thank you. In the Kuching area and elsewhere they call all or most Borneo mangos buah asam while the imported M. Indica is called mangga.
