Garcinia oleosperma P.W.Sweeney nom. nov.

Allanblackia floribunda Oliv., J. Linn. Soc., Bot. 10: 43 (1867). Type. Cameroon: Cameroon River, Mann 2193.

Note.

A replacement name, Garcinia oleosperma , is created here for the type species ( A. floribunda ) of the genus Allanblackia , because the epithet Garcinia floribunda was used previously in Garcinia for a different species. The epithet Garcinia oleosperma is in reference to the seeds that have a high oil content and are an important source of vegetable oil in tropical western Africa ( Crockett 2015).
