Basionym.

Hebradendron Graham, Companion Bot. Mag. 2: 199 (1837), nom. illeg. superfl. The genus name Hebradendron is illegitimate (superfluous as per Article 52.1, Turland et al. 2018) because Graham (1837) included within it Stalagmitis cambogioides Murray, Commentat. Soc. Regiae Sci. Gott. ix. 1787-88 (1789) 173 [≡ Hebradendron cambogioides (Murray) Graham, Companion Bot. Mag. 2: 199, t. 27 (1837)], the type of Stalagmitis Murray, Commentat. Soc. Regiae Sci. Gott. 9: 173 (1789). Later, Planchon and Triana (1860) published Garcinia section Hebradendron Planch. & Triana, Ann. Sci. Nat., Bot. sér. 4, 14: 349 (1860), which according to Article 58.1 ( Turland et al. 2018) can be considered a replacement name.

Type.

Stalagmitis cambogioides Murray, Commentat. Soc. Regiae Sci. Gott. 9: 173 (1789) [≡ Garcinia cambogioides (Murray) Headland, Man. Mater. Med. Therap. [Royle], ed. 3. 339 (1856); ≡ Hebradendron cambogioides (Murray) Graham, Companion Bot. Mag. 2: 199, t. 27 (1837)]. See Shameer and Mohanan (2020) for a discussion about the priority of G. cambogioides (Murray) Headland over G. morella (Gaertn.) Desr.

Distinguishing sectional characters.

Flowers sessile to subsessile and with four sepals and four petals. Staminate flowers without a pistillode, stamens united into a single central bundle, anthers unilocular and peltate with circumscissile dehiscence or with multiple chambers that dehisce via pores. Ovaries multilocular, stigmas lobed and variously ornamented, often papillate. Fruits with smooth surface, pedicels thick in fruit. Inflorescences axillary with one to a few flowers. Indomalaya and tropical Australasia.

Figures

Figure 2. Molecular phylogeny of Garcinia L. based on ITS sequences and Bayesian inference. Posterior probabilities (PP) and bootstrap support values (BS), obtained respectively by the Bayesian inference and Maximum Likelihood (ML) analysis, are indicated at each node of the cladogram. Nodes were collapsed when PP <0.50. The lineages / sections discussed in the text are highlighted, and species names appear in colors depending on their native distribution areas: light blue, Central and South America; light green, Tropical Africa; dark green, Madagascar and Western Indian Ocean islands; grey, Southeast Asia; purple, Australia; orange, New Guinea; red, New Caledonia; dark blue, Southwest Pacific islands. Distribution information was taken from the Plants of the World Online website (POWO 2023; also see the table of vouchers). A few species occur in several regions, and the color of the main (largest) geographic region was used. Accessions in bold were newly sequenced in this study.
