Name
Garcinia danckelmanniana Engl. – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Garcinia danckelmanniana - Protologue: Bot. Jahrb. Syst. 55: 394 (1919).
Syntypes:
CAMEROON. Genderogebirge, Tschape pass, 1420 m alt., Ledermann 2671 & 2750. Not located, probably lost at B, no duplicates traced yet, but a sketch of Ledermann 2750 is present at BM.
The protologue states there are 30‒40 stamens in 4 bundles, fused almost to the top, a distinct foveola, leaves with 12‒15 lateral veins and flowers in many-flowered bundles on the nodes. The sketch at BM shows large leaves (12–19 × 3.5–8 cm) with an acute apex and flowers on pedicels of 1.5–2 cm. All this fits Garcinia smeathmannii best, and for the moment we regard it as a synonym of that species.
