Between 2 and 4 years ago I received many Brazilian Garcinias which I spread around and surprisingly some are starting to fruit already.The label of this one was transposed incorrectly and its identity is unknown.It is larger than achachairu and sweeter and from what I am told it is better quality.Can anyone positively identify it?

Just had some G. gardeneriana fruits at Helton's place. Very nice...sweet and juicy. The G. brasilensis is very similar to G. intermedia (lemon drop), although there are different forms of the fruit on each species, the plants look pretty much identical.
