Flowers with two (usually) sepals, fused in bud. Staminate flowers with a pistillode, stamens arranged into four (up to eight) fascicles with sessile to subsessile, two-thecous anthers. Ovaries four locular, stigmas weakly lobed. Fruits with smooth walls. Inflorescences terminal or axillary with few to many flowers. Afrotropics (Madagascar and Comoros). This section contains the Garcinia species that were formerly placed into the segregate genus Ochrocarpos . The twelve species in this section are endemic to Madagascar and Comoros ( Sweeney and Rogers 2008 ). Species.
