Name

Garcinia arbuscula Engl. – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile

• Garcinia arbuscula - Protologue: Bot. Jahrb. Syst. 55: 391 (1919).

Syntypes:

CAMEROON. Mfongu, am Muti-abhang, 1700‒1900 m alt., Ledermann 5863 & 5943. Not located, probably lost at B, no duplicates traced yet.
The protologue states there are 20‒30 stamens in 4 bundles (so some 5‒8(‒9) per bundle), fused until halfway, and leaves similar to Garcinia ovalifolia, but with less pronounced veins and a cuneate base, on 1‒1.5 cm long petioles. Flowers are positioned in glomerules on the twigs, below the leaves. This description fits that of Garcinia smeathmannii and we momentarily place this name under that species.
