Mangifera sylvatica Roxb. Thanks, …, for the id.
Yes, appears close as per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mangifera_sylvatica
http://www.worldfloraonline.org/taxon/wfo-0001051922 I think it also matches as per GBIF– Specimen. Sirs, shape and size of the fruit are different with M.sylvatica. Fruiting time is also different. M.sylvatica is a large and tall tree, but this tree is a small or small to middle-sized tree. But most of botanists are identified this tree as M.sylvatica. fruits look similar to M.sylvatica as per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mangifera_sylvatica
http://www.worldfloraonline.org/taxon/wfo-0001051922 May I see what your books say about the species reported from Mizoram.
