Just received five trees from Hawaii today via FedEx 2nd day. Beautiful trees that arrived in perfect condition. Highly recommend this nursery for mail orders.
1. Garcinia Sp. (madrono del monte)

6. Bolivian mangosteen got from Montoso Garden about six months ago

The last picture (#6, the Bolivian Mangosteen) was marked as Garcinia Sp. by Montoso Garden, which is the same as the madrono del monte as in picture #1. This is confusing since these two are definitely two different trees and their common names are different. How come their botanical names are both Garcinia Sp. Anybody has the answer?

Which nursery are you recommending here? Beautiful acquisitions btw

Garcinia sp. (species) is given when a garcinia does not have a proper scientific name. Both of those dont and therefore are just labelled Garcinia species, usually with a common name as descriptor/idenitifier in brackets
Very nice trees.

Hey Tim, the nursery is Hawaii Tropical Plants.
BMc, thanks a lot for the explanation. I really appreciate the information. I've been wondering what that Garcinia Sp. means for a while; now I know. Thanks again!

Very nice trees.
Garcinia sp. can also mean that you just don't know the species name, or that you are using sp. as a general name and not specifying what the species name is. So any garcinia species can be labeled as Garcinia sp.
