Unhappy Re: Dwarf Ambarella (Spondias dulcis)

I've got Spondias mangifera seedlings. A little confused of its kind because all its cousin Spondias Pinnata look all the same. I've got plenty of it now since I ordered it online; the growth rate is like 90 percent successful. I prefer Libas or Spondias Malayana Libas (Spondias malayana) - The Indi Journal but I got the Spondias Mangifera. In the Philippines, they use the Libas leaf as a sour agent for food, but I think the Spondias Mangifera is the same..and maybe the Spondias Dulcis too. I even read online that the libas was mistakenly called the Spondias Pinnata. Heck they are becoming all the same now-reading too much information about each one sounds and even look the same in the picture. And the taste and smell even the same! I guess as long as all is edible/safe, if they all both taste and smell the same, thats all whats important; maybe theres just different variety-like guava fruits have red, white or pink. If you know more about it by experience, please elaborate me.
