Mangifera casturi, commonly known as Kasturi mango, is a rare and nearly extinct species of mango native to Kalimantan (Borneo), Indonesia. It's distinct from the common mango (Mangifera indica) and has significant cultural and ecological value. is a delicious, sweet fruit with juicy flesh. At about 5 cm, the fruit is smaller than an ordinary mango and weighs between 50 and 80 grams. 
Unfortunately, natural populations have disappeared due to deforestation and the species is extinct in the wild. Because of its delicious flavour, the Kasturi mango is still cultivated on a small scale, so it has not completely disappeared.
