However, this specimen (CAL 0000047010) was identified as Impatiens bicolor Royle (Balsamiaceae), collected by S. A. Hariss. The protologue of G. jelinekii describes only the vegetative part and fruits, which agreeing with the collection housed at W, which is here lectotypified, but as a possible holotype, following McNeill (2014) recommendations. Mohanan et al. (2023) erroneously attributed the lectotype designation for Garcinia jelinekii to Marinho (2017). However, Marinho (2017) did not effectively designate a lectotype but merely listed type specimens of Garcinia housed at W. His work did not fulfill the requirements for lectotypification, as he did not use the phrase “ designated here ” or a similar expression, as required for lectotype designation after 1 January 2001 (Art. 7.11 of the ICN, Turland et al., 2018). Jones (1980) did not assign Garcinia jelinekii to any of the seven sections for the Indomalayan region, likely due to the absence of flowers in the type material. Gaudeul et al. (2024) considered it as an unplaced name. Further investigations into the morphological characteristics of G. jelinekii are essential for its taxonomic placement. A key question remains: if no specimens of G. jelinekii are held at CAL, how did Kurz access the material? two possibilities arise: 1) the specimens were deposited at W long after the expedition, or at least after 1876, the year G. jelinekii was described; or 2) Kurz visited W between 1858 and 1876 and described the species based on material housed there. These questions remain unresolved and also warrant further inquiry.	en	L. C., Marinho, Mouzinho, T. M.
