It is known from many localities and has a large EOO of 1,086,628.84 km 2 and an AOO of 196 km 2. In Thailand, this species has an EOO of 798,570.92 km 2 and an AOO of 128 km 2. Because of its wide distribution, the number of localities, and the absence of any apparent imminent threats to the plants or their habitats, we assess its conservation status here as LC, in agreement with de Kok (2024 a).</p><p><b>Etymology.</b></p><p>The specific epithet of <i>Garcinia oliveri</i> honors the British botanist Daniel Oliver (1830–1916), who served as assistant at the Kew Herbarium (1858–1864), later as its keeper (1860–1890), and was also a professor of botany at University College, London (1861–1888) (Stafleu and Cowan 1981). He contributed significantly to tropical botany.</p><p><b>Vernacular names.</b></p><p><b>Cha muang bai yai</b> (ชะมวงใบใหญ ่) (suggested here); Cha muang chang (ชะมวงช ้ าง) (Trat, from the specimen <i>K. Bunchuai 13</i>); Muang (มวง) (Satun, from the specimen <i>A. F. G. Kerr 14200</i>); Som mong (ส ้ มโมง) (Saraburi, from the specimen <i>A. F. G. Kerr 10005</i>); U mong (อ ุ โมง) (Trat, from the specimen <i>Put 563</i>).</p><p><b>Uses.</b></p><p>It can be utilized in a similar way to <i>Garcinia cowa</i> var. <i>cowa</i>.</p><p><b>Lectotypifications.</b></p><p><i>Garcinia oliveri</i> was described by Pierre (1882) based on seven gatherings: <i>Herb. Pierre 2</i>, <i>7720</i>, <i>1373</i>, <i>3624</i>, <i>3626</i>, and <i>3628</i>, collected from various parts of Lower Cochinchina and Cambodia (“ Habite toutes les parties de la Basse-Cochinchine et du Cambodge ”), and <i>Harmand 190</i>, collected from Southern Laos (“ le Laos méridional ”). Pierre did not indicate a type, nor did he indicate the herbaria in which the specimens were deposited. Following Art. 9.6 of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018), all these specimens are therefore considered syntypes. However, detailed examination revealed that specimens <i>J. B. L. Pierre 2</i>, <i>1373</i>, and <i>3628</i> differ in both their localities and dates of collection, but we did not find specimen <i>J. B. L. Pierre 3624</i>.</p><p>The specimen <i>J. B. L. Pierre 2</i> can be separated into four distinct groups:</p><p>Group A: Collected from the Deon Ba Mountains in Tây Ninh Province, southern Cochinchina (“ Crescit montibus Deon Ba, prov. Tây Ninh austro Cochinchinae ”) on 15 April 1866. Specimen housed at: P [P 04701526].</p><p>Group B: Collected from the Dinh Mountains in Baria Province, southern Cochinchina (“ Crescit in montibus Dinh in prov. Baria Gallicae austro Cochinchinae ”) in June 1866. Specimens housed at: P [P 04701527, P 04701529, P 0470153].</p><p>Group C: Collected from the Dinh Mountains (Mu xoai) in Baria Province, southern Cochinchina (“ Oritur in montibus Dinh (Mú xoài) in prov. Baria Gallicae austro Cochinchinae ”) in September 1866. Specimen housed at: P [P 04701528].</p><p>Group D: Collected from the Dinh Mountains (Mu xoai) in Baria Province, southern Cochinchina (“ Oritur in montibus Dinh (Mú xoài) in prov. Baria Gallicae austro Cochinchinae ”) on 14 March 1867. Specimens housed at: K [K 000677694], P [P 04701862, P 04701865, P 04701866], and U [U 1199443].</p><p>Upon examination, the specimens cited as number “ <i>7720</i> ” in the original description correspond in all respects to the specimen labelled “ <i>772</i>, ” and no distinct gathering corresponding to “ <i>7720</i> ” was located. We therefore interpret the citation of “ <i>Herb. Pierre 7720</i> ” in the protologue as a transcription error and correct it to “ <i>J. B. L. Pierre 772</i>. ” The specimen <i>J. B. L. Pierre 772</i>, collected from the Schnal Mountains (“ in montibus Schnal ”), Cambodia, in May 1870, is housed at: K [without barcode].</p><p>The specimen <i>J. B. L. Pierre 1373</i> can be separated into three distinct groups:</p><p>Group A: Collected from the Dinh Mountains (Mu xoai) in Baria Province, southern Cochinchina (“ Oritur in montibus Dinh (Mú xoài) in prov. Baria Gallicae austro Cochinchinae ”) on 14 March 1867. Specimens housed at: BM [BM 001191363], K [without barcode], L [L 2417118], and P [P 04701849].</p><p>Group B: Collected in dense forests by the Be River near the village of Tri Huyen in Bien Hoa Province of southern Cochinchina (“ in sylvis densis ad flumen Bé prope pagum Tri Huy ện in Biên Hòa prov. Biên Hòa Gallicae austro Cochinchinae ”) in April 1873. Specimens housed at: BM [BM 001191361], K [K 000677695], L [L 2417119], and P [P 04701837, P 04701842, P 04701852, P 04701853].</p><p>Group C: Collected near the village of Giang Dong on Phu Quoc Island (“ ad pagum Giang Đông in insula Phú Qu ốc sinus Siamici ”) in December 1874. Specimens housed at: BM [BM 001191364], K [without barcode], L [L 0700336], and P [P 04701850].</p><p>The specimen <i>J. B. L. Pierre 3626</i> collected from the village of Giang Dong on Phu Quoc Island (“ crescit ad pagum Giang Đông in insula Phú Qu ốc sinus Siamici ”) in December 1874, is housed at: BM [BM 001191362], CAL [CAL 0000005848], P [P 04701844, P 04701845, P 04701847], and U [U 1199444].</p><p>The specimen <i>J. B. L. Pierre 3628</i> can be separated into two distinct groups:</p><p>Group A: Collected from the Dinh Mountains in Baria Province, southern Cochinchina (“ Crescit in montibus Dinh in provincia Baria austro Cochinchinae ”) in June 1866. Specimen housed at: P [P 04701851].</p><p>Group B: Collected from the Dinh Mountains near Baria, southern Cochinchina (“ Crescit in montibus Dinh juxta Baria Gallicae austro Cochinchinae ”) April 1867. Specimen housed at: P [P 04701846].</p><p>The specimen <i>F. J. Harmand 190</i> collected from Selamphao, Sè-Moun Basin, Southern Laos [“ Selamphao, Bassin du Sè-Moun (Laos méridional) ”] in Jan 1876 is housed at: P [P 04701858, P 04701859].</p><p>The specimens cited under <i>J. B. L. Pierre 1373</i> represent three distinct gatherings differing in locality and collection date. When multiple gatherings are involved, the choice of a lectotype must be justified by reference to the morphological characters given in the protologue. Among the syntypes, the specimen of Group B at P [P 04701853] is the most complete and best preserved and shows the closest correspondence to the morphology described in the protologue. We therefore designate <i>J. B. L. Pierre 1373</i> (Group B) at P [P 04701853] as the lectotype, following Art. 9.3 of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018). The remaining duplicates of the same gathering at BM [BM 001191361], K [K 000677695], L [L 2417119], and P [P 04701837, P 04701842, P 04701852] are designated as isolectotypes, following Art. 9.12 of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018)</p><p><i>Garcinia delpyana</i> was described by Pierre (1883) based on three gatherings: <i>Herb. Pierre 2002</i>, <i>3624</i>, and <i>3635</i>, collected along the coast of Pile Phu-Quoc and in Kampot Province (“ Cette espèce est commune sur le littoral de Pile Phu-Quoc et dans la province de Kamput ”). Pierre did not indicate a type, nor did he specify the herbaria in which the specimens were deposited. Following Art. 9.6 of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018), all of these specimens are therefore considered syntypes.</p><p>The specimen <i>J. B. L. Pierre 2002</i>, collected from Phu Quoc (“ Phú Qu ốc sinus Siamici ”) in March 1877, is housed at: P [P 04701474].</p><p>The specimen <i>J. B. L. Pierre 3624</i>, collected from the Cám Chay Mountains in Kampot Province (“ Cresit in montibus Cám Chay in prov. Kamput ”) in April 1874, is housed at: P [P 04701472, P 04701473].</p><p>Upon examination, the specimens cited as number “ <i>3635</i> ” in the original description correspond in all respects to the specimen labelled “ <i>3625</i>, ” and no distinct gathering corresponding to “ <i>3635</i> ” was located. We therefore interpret the citation of “ <i>Herb. Pierre 3635</i> ” in the protologue as a transcription error and correct it to “ <i>J. B. L. Pierre 3625</i>. ” Specimens under the collection number <i>3625</i> differ in their dates of collection and can be separated into two distinct groups:</p><p>Group A: Collected from Giang Dong on Phú Qu ốc Island (“ ad Giang Dong in insula Phú Qu ốc sinus Siamici ”) on 18 January 1874. Specimens housed at: P [P 04701470, P 04701471].</p><p>Group B: Collected from Phú Qu ốc Island (“ Cresit in insula Phú Qu ốc sinus Siamici ”) on 23 Jan 1874. Specimens housed at: P [P 04701467, P 04701468, P 04701469] and L [U.1208206].</p><p>We hereby designate the specimen <i>J. B. L. Pierre 3625</i> from Group B at P [P 04701469] as the lectotype, as it is the most complete and best-preserved specimen among the syntypes, in accordance with Art. 9.3 of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018). The remaining specimens from the same gathering at P [P 04701467, P 04701468] and L [U.1208206] are designated as isolectotypes, following Art. 9.12 of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018).</p><p>In the original publication of <i>Garcinia curtisii</i> Ridl. by Ridley (1922), two gatherings were mentioned: <i>C. Curtis 691</i> and <i>240</i>, collected from Penang, near the Waterfall and at Teluk Bahang (“ Telok Bahang ”). The name <i>G. curtisii</i> was lectotypified in a first-step by Whitmore (1973), based on the specimen <i>C. Curtis 691</i>, but he did not indicate the herbarium where the specimen is housed. However, upon examination, we found that specimens under this collection number differ in both locality and collection date and can be separated into three distinct groups:</p><p>Group A: <i>C. Curtis 691</i> from Teluk Bahang, Penang, collected in March 1886. Specimen at: K [K 000939066].</p><p>Group B: <i>C. Curtis 691</i> from Waterfall near Upper Bridge, Penang, collected in March 1890. Specimen at: SING [SING 0069252].</p><p>Group C: <i>C. Curtis 691</i> from Waterfall, Penang, collected in March 1892. Specimens at: K [K 000939065] and SING [SING 0069254, SING 0069255].</p><p>Therefore, we designate the specimen <i>C. Curtis 691</i> from Group C at SING [SING 0069255] as the second-step lectotype, with two sheets of isolectotypes at K [K 000939065] and SING [SING 0069254].</p><p><b>Notes.</b></p><p>According to previous studies (e. g., Pierre 1882, 1883; Vesque 1889, 1893; Pitard 1910; Gagnepain 1943) and based on the specimens we examined, <i>Garcinia delpyana</i> is not morphologically distinguishable from <i>G. oliveri</i> and is therefore treated here as a new synonym of the latter.</p><p>Whitmore (1973) reduced <i>Garcinia curtisii</i> to a variety under <i>G. bancana</i>, as <i>G. bancana</i> Miq. var. <i>curtisii</i> (Ridl.) Whitmore. However, based on previous studies (e. g., Whitmore 1973; Ridley 1922) and our examination of specimens, <i>G. bancana</i> var. <i>curtisii</i> is not morphologically distinguishable from <i>G. oliveri</i> and is therefore treated here as a new synonym of that species.</p><p><i>Garcinia oliveri</i> is similar to <i>G. cowa</i> var. <i>cowa</i> and is distinguished by its leaves elliptic or oblong-elliptic and larger, 12–25 × (4 –) 5.5–9 cm; secondary veins 10–15 pairs; and fruits subglobose, globose, broadly ellipsoid, or sometimes broadly obovoid, 3.5–5 × 3–4.5 cm, unlobed or sometimes weakly lobed, with a short, thick beak at the apex. In contrast, <i>G. cowa</i> var. <i>cowa</i> has leaves narrowly elliptic, elliptic, lanceolate, lanceolate-ovate, or ovate and smaller 5–15 × 3–6 cm; secondary veins 6–10 pairs; and fruits subglobose, globose, depressed globose, or broadly ellipsoid, 3–7 × 2.5–5 cm, shallowly or weakly lobed, without or with a short, thick beak at the apex.</p><p>The specimen <i>T. Wongprasert 013-04</i>, collected from Khlong Makok, Ko Chang National Park, Trat Province, on 24 March 2001, is represented at BKF by two sheets under the same collector’s number: BKF 132118, identified as <i>Garcinia oliveri</i>, and BKF 132119, identified as <i>G. merguensis</i> Wight.</p><p>The <i>specimen C. Phengklai et al. 14603</i>, collected from Ko Kut, Trat Province, on 6 April 2002, is represented at BKF by two sheets under the same collector’s number: BKF 142164, identified as <i>Garcinia oliveri</i>, and BKF 143190, identified as <i>G. lanceifolia</i> Roxb.

It is known from many localities and has a large EOO of 1,086,628.84 km 2 and an AOO of 196 km 2. In Thailand, this species has an EOO of 798,570.92 km 2 and an AOO of 128 km 2. Because of its wide distribution, the number of localities, and the absence of any apparent imminent threats to the plants or their habitats, we assess its conservation status here as LC, in agreement with de Kok (2024 a).</p><p><b>Etymology.</b></p><p>The specific epithet of <i>Garcinia oliveri</i> honors the British botanist Daniel Oliver (1830–1916), who served as assistant at the Kew Herbarium (1858–1864), later as its keeper (1860–1890), and was also a professor of botany at University College, London (1861–1888) (Stafleu and Cowan 1981). He contributed significantly to tropical botany.</p><p><b>Vernacular names.</b></p><p><b>Cha muang bai yai</b> (ชะมวงใบใหญ ่) (suggested here); Cha muang chang (ชะมวงช ้ าง) (Trat, from the specimen <i>K. Bunchuai 13</i>); Muang (มวง) (Satun, from the specimen <i>A. F. G. Kerr 14200</i>); Som mong (ส ้ มโมง) (Saraburi, from the specimen <i>A. F. G. Kerr 10005</i>); U mong (อ ุ โมง) (Trat, from the specimen <i>Put 563</i>).</p><p><b>Uses.</b></p><p>It can be utilized in a similar way to <i>Garcinia cowa</i> var. <i>cowa</i>.</p><p><b>Lectotypifications.</b></p><p><i>Garcinia oliveri</i> was described by Pierre (1882) based on seven gatherings: <i>Herb. Pierre 2</i>, <i>7720</i>, <i>1373</i>, <i>3624</i>, <i>3626</i>, and <i>3628</i>, collected from various parts of Lower Cochinchina and Cambodia (“ Habite toutes les parties de la Basse-Cochinchine et du Cambodge ”), and <i>Harmand 190</i>, collected from Southern Laos (“ le Laos méridional ”). Pierre did not indicate a type, nor did he indicate the herbaria in which the specimens were deposited. Following Art. 9.6 of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018), all these specimens are therefore considered syntypes. However, detailed examination revealed that specimens <i>J. B. L. Pierre 2</i>, <i>1373</i>, and <i>3628</i> differ in both their localities and dates of collection, but we did not find specimen <i>J. B. L. Pierre 3624</i>.</p><p>The specimen <i>J. B. L. Pierre 2</i> can be separated into four distinct groups:</p><p>Group A: Collected from the Deon Ba Mountains in Tây Ninh Province, southern Cochinchina (“ Crescit montibus Deon Ba, prov. Tây Ninh austro Cochinchinae ”) on 15 April 1866. Specimen housed at: P [P 04701526].</p><p>Group B: Collected from the Dinh Mountains in Baria Province, southern Cochinchina (“ Crescit in montibus Dinh in prov. Baria Gallicae austro Cochinchinae ”) in June 1866. Specimens housed at: P [P 04701527, P 04701529, P 0470153].</p><p>Group C: Collected from the Dinh Mountains (Mu xoai) in Baria Province, southern Cochinchina (“ Oritur in montibus Dinh (Mú xoài) in prov.

Specimen housed at: P [P 04701528].</p><p>Group D: Collected from the Dinh Mountains (Mu xoai) in Baria Province, southern Cochinchina (“ Oritur in montibus Dinh (Mú xoài) in prov.

We therefore interpret the citation of “ <i>Herb. Pierre 7720</i> ” in the protologue as a transcription error and correct it to “ <i>J. B. L. Pierre 772</i>. ” The specimen <i>J. B. L. Pierre 772</i>, collected from the Schnal Mountains (“ in montibus Schnal ”), Cambodia, in May 1870, is housed at: K [without barcode].</p><p>The specimen <i>J. B. L. Pierre 1373</i> can be separated into three distinct groups:</p><p>Group A: Collected from the Dinh Mountains (Mu xoai) in Baria Province, southern Cochinchina (“ Oritur in montibus Dinh (Mú xoài) in prov.

Specimens housed at: BM [BM 001191361], K [K 000677695], L [L 2417119], and P [P 04701837, P 04701842, P 04701852, P 04701853].</p><p>Group C: Collected near the village of Giang Dong on Phu Quoc Island (“ ad pagum Giang Đông in insula Phú Qu ốc sinus Siamici ”) in December 1874. Specimens housed at: BM [BM 001191364], K [without barcode], L [L 0700336], and P [P 04701850].</p><p>The specimen <i>J. B. L.

Specimen housed at: P [P 04701851].</p><p>Group B: Collected from the Dinh Mountains near Baria, southern Cochinchina (“ Crescit in montibus Dinh juxta Baria Gallicae austro Cochinchinae ”) April 1867. Specimen housed at: P [P 04701846].</p><p>The specimen <i>F. J.

B. L. Pierre 1373</i> represent three distinct gatherings differing in locality and collection date. When multiple gatherings are involved, the choice of a lectotype must be justified by reference to the morphological characters given in the protologue. Among the syntypes, the specimen of Group B at P [P 04701853] is the most complete and best preserved and shows the closest correspondence to the morphology described in the protologue. We therefore designate <i>J. B. L. Pierre 1373</i> (Group B) at P [P 04701853] as the lectotype, following Art. 9.3 of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018). The remaining duplicates of the same gathering at BM [BM 001191361], K [K 000677695], L [L 2417119], and P [P 04701837, P 04701842, P 04701852] are designated as isolectotypes, following Art. 9.12 of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018)</p><p><i>Garcinia delpyana</i> was described by Pierre (1883) based on three gatherings: <i>Herb. Pierre 2002</i>, <i>3624</i>, and <i>3635</i>, collected along the coast of Pile Phu-Quoc and in Kampot Province (“ Cette espèce est commune sur le littoral de Pile Phu-Quoc et dans la province de Kamput ”). Pierre did not indicate a type, nor did he specify the herbaria in which the specimens were deposited. Following Art. 9.6 of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018), all of these specimens are therefore considered syntypes.</p><p>The specimen <i>J. B. L. Pierre 2002</i>, collected from Phu Quoc (“ Phú Qu ốc sinus Siamici ”) in March 1877, is housed at: P [P 04701474].</p><p>The specimen <i>J. B. L. Pierre 3624</i>, collected from the Cám Chay Mountains in Kampot Province (“ Cresit in montibus Cám Chay in prov. Kamput ”) in April 1874, is housed at: P [P 04701472, P 04701473].</p><p>Upon examination, the specimens cited as number “ <i>3635</i> ” in the original description correspond in all respects to the specimen labelled “ <i>3625</i>, ” and no distinct gathering corresponding to “ <i>3635</i> ” was located. We therefore interpret the citation of “ <i>Herb. Pierre 3635</i> ” in the protologue as a transcription error and correct it to “ <i>J. B. L. Pierre 3625</i>. ” Specimens under the collection number <i>3625</i> differ in their dates of collection and can be separated into two distinct groups:</p><p>Group A: Collected from Giang Dong on Phú Qu ốc Island (“ ad Giang Dong in insula Phú Qu ốc sinus Siamici ”) on 18 January 1874. Specimens housed at: P [P 04701470, P 04701471].</p><p>Group B: Collected from Phú Qu ốc Island (“ Cresit in insula Phú Qu ốc sinus Siamici ”) on 23 Jan 1874. Specimens housed at: P [P 04701467, P 04701468, P 04701469] and L [U.1208206].</p><p>We hereby designate the specimen <i>J. B. L. Pierre 3625</i> from Group B at P [P 04701469] as the lectotype, as it is the most complete and best-preserved specimen among the syntypes, in accordance with Art. 9.3 of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018). The remaining specimens from the same gathering at P [P 04701467, P 04701468] and L [U.1208206] are designated as isolectotypes, following Art. 9.12 of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018).</p><p>In the original publication of <i>Garcinia curtisii</i> Ridl. by Ridley (1922), two gatherings were mentioned: <i>C. Curtis 691</i> and <i>240</i>, collected from Penang, near the Waterfall and at Teluk Bahang (“ Telok Bahang ”). The name <i>G. curtisii</i> was lectotypified in a first-step by Whitmore (1973), based on the specimen <i>C. Curtis 691</i>, but he did not indicate the herbarium where the specimen is housed. However, upon examination, we found that specimens under this collection number differ in both locality and collection date and can be separated into three distinct groups:</p><p>Group A: <i>C. Curtis 691</i> from Teluk Bahang, Penang, collected in March 1886. Specimen at: K [K 000939066].</p><p>Group B: <i>C. Curtis 691</i> from Waterfall near Upper Bridge, Penang, collected in March 1890. Specimen at: SING [SING 0069252].</p><p>Group C: <i>C. Curtis 691</i> from Waterfall, Penang, collected in March 1892. Specimens at: K [K 000939065] and SING [SING 0069254, SING 0069255].</p><p>Therefore, we designate the specimen <i>C. Curtis 691</i> from Group C at SING [SING 0069255] as the second-step lectotype, with two sheets of isolectotypes at K [K 000939065] and SING [SING 0069254].</p><p><b>Notes.</b></p><p>According to previous studies (e. g., Pierre 1882, 1883; Vesque 1889, 1893; Pitard 1910; Gagnepain 1943) and based on the specimens we examined, <i>Garcinia delpyana</i> is not morphologically distinguishable from <i>G. oliveri</i> and is therefore treated here as a new synonym of the latter.</p><p>Whitmore (1973) reduced <i>Garcinia curtisii</i> to a variety under <i>G. bancana</i>, as <i>G. bancana</i> Miq. var. <i>curtisii</i> (Ridl.) Whitmore. However, based on previous studies (e. g., Whitmore 1973; Ridley 1922) and our examination of specimens, <i>G. bancana</i> var. <i>curtisii</i> is not morphologically distinguishable from <i>G. oliveri</i> and is therefore treated here as a new synonym of that species.</p><p><i>Garcinia oliveri</i> is similar to <i>G. cowa</i> var. <i>cowa</i> and is distinguished by its leaves elliptic or oblong-elliptic and larger, 12–25 × (4 –) 5.5–9 cm; secondary veins 10–15 pairs; and fruits subglobose, globose, broadly ellipsoid, or sometimes broadly obovoid, 3.5–5 × 3–4.5 cm, unlobed or sometimes weakly lobed, with a short, thick beak at the apex. In contrast, <i>G. cowa</i> var. <i>cowa</i> has leaves narrowly elliptic, elliptic, lanceolate, lanceolate-ovate, or ovate and smaller 5–15 × 3–6 cm; secondary veins 6–10 pairs; and fruits subglobose, globose, depressed globose, or broadly ellipsoid, 3–7 × 2.5–5 cm, shallowly or weakly lobed, without or with a short, thick beak at the apex.</p><p>The specimen <i>T. Wongprasert 013-04</i>, collected from Khlong Makok, Ko Chang National Park, Trat Province, on 24 March 2001, is represented at BKF by two sheets under the same collector’s number: BKF 132118, identified as <i>Garcinia oliveri</i>, and BKF 132119, identified as <i>G. merguensis</i> Wight.</p><p>The <i>specimen C. Phengklai et al. 14603</i>, collected from Ko Kut, Trat Province, on 6 April 2002, is represented at BKF by two sheets under the same collector’s number: BKF 142164, identified as <i>Garcinia oliveri</i>, and BKF 143190, identified as <i>G. lanceifolia</i> Roxb.
