Species classification

There are more than 1,000 mango cultivars around the world, and there are two major groups from the botanical point of view:

Monoembryonic type: the seed only has a single embryo, sowing only a seedling, the live tree variability is large, and can not maintain the parent's excellent traits. Indian mango and its offspring (such as red mango class), China's purple flower mango, Guixiang mango, string mango, Yuexi 1 and Guangxi "red ivory" and so on are single embryo varieties.

Polyembryonic type: seeds have more than one embryo, after sowing can grow a few seedlings, can develop into seedlings of the embryo is mostly asexual embryo, so the fruit tree variability is small, most of them can maintain the mother traits, the Philippines varieties, Thai mango and Hainan Province's soil mango belongs to this type.
