Garcinia intermedia ID question

I have two plants of "lemon drop mangosteen" from two different sources and both look different. Is it due to variation among G. intermedia or they are two different species under one common name? I almost think that lemon drop #1 is in fact G. humilis (achachairu)
LEMON DROP #1
LEMON DROP #2
TWO TOGETHER

I have read that some people call Garcinia brasiliensis Garcinia intermedia, and vice versa. I do not know if that is the case here. Still too much of a noob.

Thank you. I have G. brazilians as well and after your comment I do think my lemon drop #2 looks more like my G. braziliensis than G. intermedia.

I have seedlings of both but they are still very small. I'll check when I get home and post pictures.

Thank you SKHAN and HIBACHIDRAMA. I guess #2 is more of a mystery. Whether #2 turns out to be G.braziliensis or Luc's Garcinia, either one is good
BRIAN, yours do look like achacha.

Could the second one be Garcinia mandro? The leaf looks similar to one I am growing under that name (your is more healthy than mine though).
