A mango is an edible stone fruit produced by the tropical tree Mangifera indica. It originated from the region between northwestern Myanmar, Bangladesh, and northeastern India. M. indica has been cultivated in South and Southeast Asia since ancient times resulting in two types of modern mango cultivars: the "Indian type" and the "Southeast Asian type". Other species in the genus Mangifera also produce edible fruits that are also called "mangoes", the majority of which are found in the Malesian ecoregion.

<i>Amorphophallus</i> Genus of flowering plants

Amorphophallus is a large genus of some 200 tropical and subtropical tuberous herbaceous plants from the Arum family (Araceae), native to Asia, Africa, Australia and various oceanic islands. A few species are edible as "famine foods" after careful preparation to remove irritating chemicals. The genus includes the Titan arum of Indonesia, which has the largest inflorescence of any plant in the genus, and is also known as the 'corpse flower' for the pungent odour it produces during its flowering period, which can take up through seven years of growth before it occurs.

Nepenthes putaiguneung is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to highlands of the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. Nepenthes putaiguneung closely resembles in its morphology to N. singalana, however, it differs from the latter with its narrowly spatulate leaves, the upper pitchers with finely lobed peristome that lacks teeth on inner edge, basal crest of the pitcher lid that has a short, tooth-like appendage, the lower pitcher's lid glands that is confined to the midline, and the minutely short bracteole on the pedicel of male flowers. This species also resembles N. mikei but differs by the shape of the leaves, the shape of the lower pitchers, the short, dense ribs on the peristome of the lower pitcher, the prominent grandular crest on the base of the lid of both pitchers, the clustered glands on the midrib of the lid of the lower pitcher, and the minutely short bracteole on the pedicel of male flowers.
