Pangium is a genus in the family Achariaceae containing the sole species Pangium edule, a tall tree native to the mangrove swamps of Southeast Asia (Indonesia and Papua New Guinea[5]). It produces a large poisonous fruit (the "football fruit" or pangi)[6] which can be made edible by fermentation. It is dioecious, with male and female flowers produced on separate individuals.[7]
The taxonomy of the tree is uncertain and it may also be classed in the Flacourtiaceae[5] or the Violales.
