''Garcinia prainiana'', known as the button mangosteen or ''cherapu'' is a species of ''Garcinia''. It has a flavor similar to, but distinct from, its cousin, the purple mangosteen, with an interesting taste some have compared to a tangerine, but unlike its cousin, it has a tissue-thin skin rather than a hard rind, making it much easier to eat out-of-hand. Also unlike the purple mangosteen, it can be grown in a container. The fruit is cultivated in Southeast Asia, by a few backyard growers in South Florida, and at the Whitman Rare Fruit Pavilion of Florida's Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden. ==References and links== * *(Tradewinds Fruit:Button Mangosteen ) *''Five Decades with Tropical Fruit, A Personal Journey'' (2001) by William Francis Whitman *http://www.plantnames.unimelb.edu.au/Sorting/Garcinia.html 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Garcinia prainiana」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
