 Roxb.= Gar cinia dulcis Kurz was from the Moluccas.

 Folium acidum minus Rumph. Herb. Amb. 3: 60, t. 33. 



Folium acidum minus Rumph. is almost certainly a species 

 of Garcinia, and the above reduction is suggested. There are, 

 however, some discrepancies between the characters indicated 

 by Rumphius and the authentic specimens of Boerlage's species 

 before me. Vesque, in DC. Monog. Phan. 8 (1893) 349, has 

 suggested that it may be the same as Garcinia picrorhiza Miq., 

 but to me it seems much closer to G. ceramica Boerl. than to 

 G. picrorhiza Miq. Two forms are described, majus and minus, 

 which probably represent different species. Rumphius's ma- 

 terial was not from Amboina, but from Little Ceram and Xula- 

 bessi Islands.

 Gutta cambodja Rumph. Herb. Amb. 2: 251. 



The form discussed by Rumphius as Gutta cambodja is un- 

 doubtedly the same as Garcinia cambogia Desr., where it was 

 placed by Hasskarl, Neue Schlussel (1866) 45. Henschel re- 

 ferred it with doubt to Cambogia gutta Linn., but Cambogia 

 gutta Linn, is a synonym of Garcinia morella Desr., not of Gar- 

 cinia cambogia Desr.*

Garcinia celebica Linn, was based wholly on the Rumphian 

 figure and description, which in turn were based on specimens 

 from Macassar, Celebes, there known as kras and as mangostaan 

 utan. Pierre, Fl. Forest Cochinch. Enum. XIII, not satisfied 

 that specimens cultivated in the botanic garden at Buitenzorg, 

 Java, under the name Garcinia celebica Linn, were correctly 

 named, based his Garcinia rumphii on this material. I have 

 a duplicate specimen of Pierre Ul 68, named Garcinia rumphii
