White Fleshed Mango

Here's another, prunus. Your not going to call a plum a wild almond, are you?

There are always exceptions to the "rule", like I have alredy stated.

I really doubt that the term "wild mango" is used in any place of origin for the wani. Instead it is a name that was probably coined by either Campbell or Ledesma.
I think also Mangifera caesia is cultivated in places, so it often is neither wild nor a mango. Usually fruits that are so delicious as described in the movie will become cultivated. Then ofcourse there is the opinion of durianwriter, who said in another thread that wani stinks something terrible!

I can't believe people are discussing fruits names because of one of my mistakes and dumbness

You have to realize that a genus is not created based on name, but rather based on evolutionary relationship, i.e. when did they diverge from a common ancestor. Otherwise, we would have all the "sapotes" in one genus, which we don't. They are all split up because they aren't genetically related close enough to be a genus. Nothing at all to do with name.

I am well aware of that.
