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.

 Introduction

In Gaudeul et al. (2024), Garcinia sect. Rheedia (L.) S.W.Jones ex P.W.Sweeney was recognized to include species placed by Jones (1980) into G. sect. Rheedia (L.) S.W.Jones nom. inval., G. sect. Rheediopsis Pierre, and G. sect. Teracentrum Pierre. However, Garcinia section Rheedia (L.) S.W.Jones ex P.W.Sweeney is an illegitimate name (superfluous as per Art. 52.1, Turland et al. 2018) due to the two previously published sectional names being included within it. Instead, we here choose the name Garcinia section Rheediopsis Pierre for this section.

In Gaudeul et al. (2024), the genus Allanblackia was placed into synonymy under Garcinia section Allanblackia (Oliv.) P.W. Sweeney and new combinations and names were created in Garcinia for the former Allanblackia species. Two of these new names are illegitimate later homonyms (Art. 53.1 Turland et al. 2018). Here we provide new legitimate names for these species.

A replacement name, Garcinia alepensis, is created here for Allanblackia parviflora, because the epithet parviflora was used previously in Garcinia for a different species. The epithet alepensis is chosen in reference to the type locality of the species, Alepe, Côte d’Ivoire.

A replacement name, Garcinia agnoume, is created here for Allanblackia gabonensis, because the epithet gabonensis was used previously in Garcinia for a different species. The epithet agnoume, constructed as a noun in apposition, is in reference to a vernacular name agnoumé used for this species within parts of its range (Eyog Matig et al. 2006).
