Mango Varieties & IdentificationWhy should Ataulfo and Nam Dok Mai not be treated as interchangeable names?
The Ataulfo entry contains a broad alias list that includes Nam Dok Mai, but the separate descriptions distinguish a Mexican Ataulfo from the Thai Nam Dok Mai group. Both can have yellow skin and smooth flesh, which does not establish synonymy. Preserve the supplied name and source, and treat this alias collision as something to verify rather than a reason to merge the cultivars.
