Mountain mangosteen

About

Garcinia gibbsiae, commonly known as mountain mangosteen, is a species of plants in the family Clusiaceae found only in the Wet Tropics bioregion of Queensland, Australia. It is a small tree to about 15 m (49 ft) tall. Leaves can reach 20 cm (7.9 in) long and 9 cm (3.5 in) wide, and they have numerous lateral veins either side of the midrib. This species is dioecious, meaning that pistillate and staminate flowers are borne on separate plants. It was first described in 1917 by English botanist Spencer Le Marchant Moore, and the species epithet was given in honour of another English botanist, Lilian Gibbs, who collected the type specimen.
