Wild mangosteen (:
lolly fruit
Wild mangosteen is an English equivalent of 'santol' [Sandoricum koetjape, S. indicum or S. nervosum].
The English word for santol is wild mangosteen or cotton fruit. It is mainly grown in Asia and has several names in different countries.
Santol is the same in English and Filipino.Specifically, the word functions as a Filipino loan word in English. The term in English identifies both the fruit and the tree (Sandoricum koetjape) which produces that fruit. Its native range is thought to be native to peninsular Southeast Asia even though it may be found in Borneo, India, Indonesia, Mauritius and Phlippines.
The santol fruit is called "wild mangosteen" in Malayalam.

The 'santol' is a tropical fruit that most likely traces back to a southeast Asian origin. Researchers and scientists tend to point to origins in the former Indochina and in the Malay Peninsula. The fruit's scientific name is Sandoricum koetjape. But Sandoricum indicum and S. nervosum are accepted synonyms. The 'santol' has just about as many common names as it does the number of countries in which it can be grown. For example, the English term traditionally is 'wild mangosteen'. But common names from other languages may also be used and understood as acceptable terms for the fruit. Thus, the fruit may be called 'donka' from the Sinhalese language of Sri Lanka, 'gratawn' from the Thai, 'kompem reach' from the Khmer language of Cambodia, and 'tong' from the Lao language of Laos. Additionally, just the word 'santol' opens up many doors from the Philippines through Indonesia to Malaysia.
The Tagalog term for cannonball fruit is "santol."
I think it will be called mantol and it will be very rich in vitamins C :D
