Garcinia humilis, known commonly as achachairú or achacha, is a small, prolifically fruiting tree related to the mangosteen. It grows in the southern part of the Amazon basin in the central area of Bolivia and is cultivated in northern Australia.
The fruit is a berry with fleshy endocarp, [4] which in several species is delicious. Among neotropical Garcinia several species are dioecious (G. leptophylla, G. macrophylla [citation needed] and G. magnifolia), although male and female trees have often been observed to have some degree of self-fertility.
Garcinia intermedia is a species of tropical American tree which produces edible fruit. [2] In English it is known as the lemon drop mangosteen (a name it shares with the closely related and similarly tasting Garcinia madruno) or sometimes monkey fruit. In Spanish it is called mameyito, though it is known as jorco in Costa Rica. [3]
The plant is deciduous over part of its range, [14] but evergreen in most locales. [15] Growing from multiple trunks, it reaches a height of 4.6–9.1 metres (15–30 feet). [13] The bark is whitish gray. [16] The base of each leaf is accompanied by a pair of thorns on the branch. [17] The dark brown fruit is a seed pod. [16]

Garcinia madruno, the charichuela, is a fruit-producing tree species from the rainforests of Central and South America. [1] The leaves are dark green and leathery. The fruit looks like a shriveled droopy lemon and has a similar rind, so is sometimes called a lemon drop mangosteen.
Sapling. Phyllanthus acidus is an intermediary between a shrub and tree, reaching 2 to 9 m (6½ to 30 ft) high. [2] The tree's dense and bushy crown is composed of thickish, tough main branches, at the end of which are clusters of deciduous, greenish, 15-to-30-cm long branchlets.
