Suppose I answered that the botanical name of Mango is Mangifera indica. That answer comes up in a few seconds, with a simple word search. But a simple answer to this simple question does not elucidate the fact that there are over 1000 varieties of mango around the world. Nobody, to my knowledge, has ever seen them all or eaten them all. Varietal characteristics in mango are far more important than its original given name. Would it help much if I said the name of that guy standing over there is John Smith? Is that all you want to know about him?
