Mango Varieties & IdentificationWhy can a Hawaiian mango called Chinese have a West Indian introduction history?
The experiment-station history connects Hawaii's Chinese mango, also called No. 9, with an introduction from Jamaica. The common name reflects local historical usage rather than a straightforward statement that the cultivar originated in China. Preserve the local name and documented introduction account together. This avoids changing a plant's recorded origin simply to make it agree with an informal name.
