What is the correct scientific name of Mango?

Correct answer: Mangifera indica

Direct answer: A, Mangifera indica. Mango belongs to the genus Mangifera, and its specific epithet is indica; together they form the binomial scientific name Mangifera indica. The genus begins with a capital letter and the specific epithet begins with a lowercase letter. The two words are written in italics in print or underlined separately in handwriting. B, Solanum tuberosum, is the scientific name of potato, so it cannot identify mango. C, Homo sapiens, is the scientific name of modern humans, not a plant. D, Panthera leo, is the scientific name of the lion, an animal. The answer can be checked in two ways: first, remember the accepted name of mango; second, check the binomial format, which must contain a genus followed by a specific epithet. Merely seeing two Latin-looking words is not enough; the words must belong to the organism asked about. Memory cue: “Mangifera makes mango.”
