Informasi Umum

Garcinia celebica adalah pohon cemara berukuran kecil hingga sedang dengan mahkota piramidal; dapat
tumbuh dari ketinggian 9 - 36 meter. Batang, terutama di pohon yang lebih besar, bergalur, terkadang
dengan penopang curam [359

Pohon itu dipanen dari alam liar untuk penggunaan lokal sebagai makanan, obat-obatan dan sumber
kayu. Pohon itu juga terkadang dibudidayakan untuk buahnya di beberapa bagian Asia Tenggara [317

] Telah direkomendasikan sebagai tanaman komersial potensial melalui perbaikan dengan pemuliaan
selektif [301

Rincian Kultivasi

Tumbuh baik dalam naungan belang-belang [358

Pohon itu menyerupai manggis (Garcinia mangostana), tetapi getahnya berwarna putih dan bunganya
lebih kecil [310]

Spesies ini telah disarankan untuk berkembang biak dengan anggota genus lain untuk meningkatkan
kualitas buahnya [317

Spesies dioecious, baik bentuk jantan dan betina perlu ditanam jika buah dan biji diperlukan [358

Penggunaan yang Dimakan

Buah - mentah [46

, 301

] Bubur putih asam memiliki rasa yang menyenangkan dan menyenangkan [46

] Berry kuning-merah, berdaging berdiameter sekitar 3cm [359

Buah - mentah atau dibuat menjadi pengawet [301

] Daging di sekitar biji memiliki rasa yang enak [317

] Buah mawar-merah yang cerah adalah buah globose, berdiameter 5cm, dengan aroma apel dan
banyak biji [310]

Obat

Rebusan akar dapat diberikan setelah melahirkan sebagai obat pencegahan [310

Akar dan daunnya digunakan untuk menghilangkan rasa gatal [310

Penggunaan lainnya

Tanaman telah disarankan sebagai batang bawah untuk manggis (Garcinia mangostana) [317

Kayunya berwarna coklat kemerahan dan sangat dihargai [1148

Perambatan

Benih - kami tidak memiliki informasi spesifik tentang spesies ini, tetapi benih sebagian besar anggota
genus dapat lambat berkecambah, bahkan jika ditabur segar, sering memakan waktu 6 bulan atau lebih

Within section Kiras, G. hombroniana was

grouped together by Pierre (1882–1885) with

G. benthamii Pierre, G. schefferi Pierre, G. celebica

 L. and G. cornea L. by having the same stamen

bundles facing opposite sepals and hermaphrodite

flowers (it is known later that this hermaphrodite

flower is actually a male flower). Interestingly, two

species (G. celebica and G. cornea) originally

described by Rumphius (1741) were included in this

group but Pierre himself was not been able to study

the specimens of Rumphius and followed what was

written by the previous author (i.e., by Linnaeus

1754, 1774). Besides that, Pierre also studied specimens of G. celebica and G. cornea from trees that

were planted in botanic garden originally brought

from various parts of the Malay Archipelago (Pierre

1882–1885).
 Confusion over the true identity of the Rumphius

(1741) species is the most definite reason why

numerous other Garcinia species including G. hombroniana were not correctly delimited including

Pierre’s (1882–1885). Originally, two species, Mangostana celebica and Lignum corneum were

described by Rumphius (1741) in his pre-Linnaean

publication entitled ‘‘Herbarium Amboinensis’’.

Stickman (Linnaeus 1754), who revised Rumphius’s

work, validated Mangostana celebica and placed this

species together with G. mangostana known as

G. celebica and stated that it differed with each other

in terms of different fruit characters. Sometime later,

Murray (Linnaeus 1774) added another Rumphius

species, Lignum corneum known as G. cornea L. into

the Garcinia group. However, there is no surviving

herbarium type specimen to accompany these two

species (G. celebica and G. cornea) except in the

descriptions and figures by Rumphius (1741) for

comparison and validation (see Figs. 1, 2). It should

also be noted that figures (plates) in Rumphius (1741)

were made by his son and others after he became

blind and the original plates were destroyed and were

not based on actual specimens (Merrill 1917).

Because of that, the unusual errors such as in Lignum

corneum illustration (Fig. 2) could be found where

both male flowers and the fruit were placed in the

 same twigs when it is known later that all Garcinia

are dioecious (male and female on different tree)

plants.

In his work, Rumphius (1741) separation of the

two species, Mangostana celebica in Sulawesi and

Lignum corneum in Ambon by using latex colour and

sepal colour proved to be poor characters for species

delimitation because it was shown later by Whitmore

(1973) that these characters were not important

for species delimitation in Garcinia. Based on
