Species on this page ( A = names approved by most authorities, s = approved as synonyms) :





Rheedia aristata Griseb.  
SYNONYM(S) :  Garcinia aristata (Griseb.) Borhidi
SPANISH :  Espuela de caballero (Cuba), Manajú (Cuba), Manajucillo (Cuba).


Rheedia brasiliensis (Mart.) Planch. & Triana
SYNONYM(S) :  Garcinia brasiliensis Mart., Rheedia laterifolia L., Garcinia laterifolia Blume ?

This taxon is a little confused with Garcinia humilis. The confusion revolves in part around Rheedia laterifolia and Rheedia lateriflora. Indeed all these names could be synonymous. They have a common Spanish name "Achachairú", also shared with other species as well. "There is a feeling" that Rheedia brasiliensis is a Brazilian species whilst Garcinia humilis is more of Bolivian origin. All this remained to be confirmed.
