Description
It is a tree that grows up to 25m tall with smooth bark. Its leaves are similar to those of other Mangifera species. However, the leaves are slightly thicker then those of the main commercial mango species Mangifera indica. In comparison to that species, Mangifera austroindica's flowers are described as smaller, glabrous and the petals not reflexed and thin. It produces yellow flowers. [2]
