Garcinia section Rheedia (L.) S.W.Jones ex P.W.Sweeney, comb. & stat. nov. Clade 2 Figs 2 , 3 Basionym. Rheedia L., Sp. Pl. 2: 1193 (1753). Type . Rheedia lateriflora L. [= Garcinia humilis (Vahl.) C.D.Adams, Phytologia 20(5): 312 (1970); non Garcinia lateriflora Blume, Bijdr. Fl. Ned. Ind. 5: 214 (1825)]. Distinguishing sectional characters. Flowers usually with four petals (sepal number varies from two to five). Staminate flowers with stamens free or united into fascicles with filaments united up to 1/2 (rarely up to 2/3) of their length. Pollen tri-colporate with long ectoaperatures and endocolpi ( Jones 1980 ). Ovaries with two to four locules and a single ovule per locule, placentation axile. Vesque (1893 :288) noted that the leaves of species included in this section (i.e., species placed in the genus Rheedia and Garcinia subgenus Rheediopsis in his monograph) have sunken stomata with raised papilla-like protuberances arising from the accessory cells and partially covering the stomatal opening. Neotropics and Afrotropics. This section includes species placed by Jones (1980) into sections Rheedia (L.) S.W.Jones nom. inval. (Art. 30.9, Turland et al. 2018 ); Rheediopsis Pierre, Fl. Forest. Cochinch. 1, Fasc. 5, 2 (1883), Type. G. smeathmannii (Planch. & Triana) N.Robson ex Spirl. (lectotype, designated here); and Teracentrum Pierre, Fl. Forest. Cochinch. 1, Fasc. 5, 1 (1883), Type.
