A description of mangosteen was included in the Species Plantarum by Linnaeus in 1753. The mangosteen was introduced into English greenhouses in 1855.[9] Subsequently, its culture was introduced into the Western Hemisphere, where it became established in West Indies islands, especially Jamaica. It was later established on the Americas mainland in Guatemala, Honduras, Panama, and Ecuador. The mangosteen tree generally does not grow well outside the tropics.[citation needed] In Southeast Asia, mangosteen is commonly known as the “Queen of Fruit”, and is frequently paired with durian, the “King of Fruit”.[10] In Chinese food therapy, mangosteen is considered “cooling”, making it a good counterbalance to the “heaty” durian.[10] There is also a legend about Queen Victoria offering a reward of 100 pounds sterling to anyone who could deliver to her the fresh fruit.[4][11] Although this legend can be traced to a 1930 publication by the fruit explorer David Fairchild,[1] it is not substantiated by any known historical document.[11]
