Removed the incorrect label that this plant is also known as "wampee" (Clausena lansium), which is a very different plant.Duyet-pho 06:43, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

This article contains instances of both AP comma and UC/Oxford comma, eg "Anatomy, morphology and habit" and "in places as Butuan, Cagayan de Oro, and Camiguin". Shouldn't it settle on one throughout? The Crab Who Played With The Sea (talk) 14:05, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Toxicity
Check out: https://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/morton/langsat.html#Toxicity

"An arrow poison has been made from the fruit peel and the bark of the tree. Both possess a toxic property, lansium acid, which, on injection, arrests heartbeat in frogs. The peel is reportedly high in tannin. The seed contains a minute amount of an unnamed alkaloid, 1% of an alcohol-soluble resin, and 2 bitter, toxic principles." 71.139.161.62 (talk) 22:38, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Lanzon is not Spanish. It is a vernacular word spelled with a Z but sometimes spelled with S by Spaniards
Spaniards never claimed that the word Lanzon is Spanish. They attributed it to the word lasona, old Tagalog word for onion. see https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=miun.aqj5903.0001.001;view=1up;seq=198 ——Vocabulario de la lengua tagala [microform] / compuesto por varios religiosos doctos y graves, y coordinado por el P. Juan de Noceda y el P. Pedro de Sanlucar. Ultimamente aumentado y                       corregido por varios religiosos de la orden de Augustinos calzados. Published 1860

To cite my resources: https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=ucm.5321324282;view=1up;seq=410 "This tree that is indigenous to the islands, grows very well in the province of Laguna and elsewhere. It rises to the height of twelve feet, and in other places much more. In the hills of Balanga, wild lanzones with rough flavor can be found. The fruit of the cultivated lanzon is not tasty: its bark releases a muddy milk, and the seeds are green and bitter. It is known to everyone in the islands; but I do not know if the word LANZONES OR LANSONES IS FOREIGN OR NATIVE: IT HAS A RESEMBLANCE TO LASONA, WHICH IS ONION; AND IN FACT THE LANSONES ARE SIMILAR IN CERTAIN THINGS TO THIS ROOT." ——Flora de Filipinas : según el sistema sexual de Linneo / por el P.
