Abstract

In a recent publication dealing with the sectional-level taxonomy of Garcinia, an illegitimate superfluous sectional name and two illegitimate homonyms were published. Herein we choose a legitimate sectional name, Garcinia section Rheediopsis Pierre, for the superfluous name Garcinia section Rheedia (L.) S.W.Jones ex P.W.Sweeney; and create two new legitimate names in Garcinia for Allanblackia gabonensis (Pellegr.) Bamps and A. parviflora A.Chev.
