There is no official ID - unidentified garcinia species from the americas. Was labeled as "Rusty" by Felipe Osborne (since passed away) in Puerto Rico.

I bought five seeds of those from abimael. Unfortunately none sprouted. As far as I know it is an unidentified species. Felipe grew it as garcinia sp. Rusty.
