dc.description.abstract	Mangosteen originates in the Sunda Island (Brunei, East Timor, Indonesia and Malaysia) and the Moluccas or Spice Islands (Indonesia) in tropical Asia. Originally from Malaysia, it was spread to the Philippines, Burma and India and further to other parts of the world. The mangosteen plant was introduced in England in 1789, and shortly in the Pacific island and Antilles. Mangosteen was introduced in Sri Lanka in 1800. The mangosteen seedlings were introduced to Australia in 1854, after that it was found throughout the tropics. The tree is widespread in the warmer parts of Africa, from just north of Durban to as far as Somalia and Guinea. In southern Africa it spreads quite far up the Limpopo and Zambezi Valleys.	en_US
