Irvingia is a genus of African and Southeast Asian trees in the family Irvingiaceae, sometimes known by the common names wild mango, African mango, bush mango, dika, mbukpap uyo or ogbono.
They bear edible mango-like fruits (large drupes, with fibrous flesh), and are especially valued for their fat- and protein-rich nuts.
