Lansium parasiticum

Lansium parasiticum, commonly known as langsat (/ˈlɑːŋsɑːt/), is a species of tree in the family Meliaceae with commercially cultivated edible fruits. The species is native to Southeast Asia. Despite its name, it is not parasitic; the specific epithet parasiticum derives from the fact that it can grow as an epiphyte in the wild, which was once thought to be an indication of parasitism.
