S. pinnata is not the same as S. dulcis. S. dulcis is the same as S. cytherea. S. pinnata fruit is smaller than the S. dulcis' and not very good tasting. Sometimes, Pinnata is used as rootstock for Dulcis because they have a stronger root system. Sometimes S. pinnata is referred to as Mangifera pinnata. That's how closely related it is to Mangifera indica, the mango.
