Garcinia celebica[3] is an accepted name of a tree species in the family Clusiaceae.[4][5] It is native to India, Indochina, Malesia, and Papuasia.[2] The Catalogue of Life lists no subspecies.[4]
A number of descriptions of this (evidently variable) plant, notably in Indo-China by Pierre and others, relate to records under synonyms such as Garcinia benthamii and G. ferrea; the latter has been called rỏi mật (sometimes gỏi) in Vietnamese.[6] The species name indicates an original description in the Celebes (Sulawesi) and it is found throughout Malesia, with local names (especially Borneo) including: Kalawet, Kandis, Kandis pulan, Manggis, Manggis hutan, Perda-perda and Sungkep.[7]
