The mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) is a tropical evergreen tree with edible fruit native to Maritime Southeast Asia, from the Malay Peninsula to Borneo. It is grown mainly in Southeast Asia, southwest India, and other tropical areas such as Colombia, Puerto Rico and Florida, where the tree has been introduced. The fruit is sweet and tangy, juicy, somewhat fibrous, with fluid-filled vesicles (like the flesh of citrus fruits), with an inedible, deep reddish-purple colored rind (exocarp) when ripe. In each fruit, the fragrant edible white flesh that surrounds each seed is the endocarp, the inner layer of the ovary, and is roughly the same shape and size as a tangerine, about 4 to 6 centimetres (1.5 to 2.5 inches) in diameter. This photograph, which was focus-stacked from 22 individual images, shows two mangosteens, one whole, and the other halved to expose the endocarp.Photograph credit: Ivar Leidus
My main goal was to clean up the Film noir pages of Wikipedia, which I found bare when I first started editing. After a few bumpy moments learning how to write correctly for Wiki, I've updated and added many pages.
I'm most proud of pages that I've started that have gone on to become very good (after other people added to them)
They include:
- Lizabeth Scott
- Claire Trevor (didn't start that but added greatly to it)
- and Howard Da Silva
I continue to add movies and actors from the 40's and 50's but I would like to see more people jump in and expand on them.
