Garcinia section Garcinia (Clusiaceae) is revised for Thailand with three species and one variety, i.e., two native species: G. celebica and G. exigua, and one cultivated species: G. mangostana var. mangostana. Detailed morphological descriptions, illustrations, and an identification key to the species are presented, along with notes on distributions, habitats and ecology, phenology, conservation assessments, etymology, vernacular names, uses, and specimens examined. The section is recognized by its terminal inflorescences of simple cymes, or sometimes a solitary flower; flowers with 4 sepals and 4 petals; male flowers often with a pistillode, and stamens united into a single 4-lobed or 4-angled bundle, and with 2-thecous anthers; usually multilocular ovaries and stigmas with distinct or weak lobes and smooth or rough; and fruits with a smooth surface. Three associated synonyms of G. celebica: G. ferrea, G. basacensis, and G. hombroniana, are lectotypified here in a second-step. In Thailand, Garcinia celebica is found in a very wide variety of habitats, at elevations of 0–1,500 m amsl., and is known to be naturally distributed in all floristic regions. G. exigua is found in dry evergreen forest on limestone hills and in littoral dry evergreen forest on limestone hills, at elevations of 50–100 m amsl. in Krabi Province, the peninsular region. G. mangostana var. mangostana is found only in cultivation. Garcinia exigua has a conservation status of Vulnerable [VU B2ab(iii)] and the other two species have a conservation status of Least Concern [LC]. The fleshy pulp surrounding the seeds of two species, G. celebica and G. mangostana var. mangostana is edible and has a sweet-sour taste.

Garcinia sections Dicrananthera and Macrostigma (Clusiaceae) is revised for Thailand. Three species are enumerated, i.e., one species, G. thorelii belongs to the section Dicrananthera, and two species, G. nuntasaenii and G. prainiana, are in the section Macrostigma. Detailed morphological descriptions and illustrations are provided, together with notes on distribution, habitats and ecology, phenology, conservation assessments, etymology, vernacular names, uses, and specimens examined. An identification key to the species of section Macrostigma is presented. One name, G. thorelii, is lectotypified here. For Garcinia nuntasaenii we recommend a conservation status of Endangered [EN B2ab(v)] and for the other two species (G. prainiana and G. thorelii) a conservation status of Least concern [LC]. A number of vegetative characters and features of reproductive organs, especially the flowers, distinguish the two sections and we enumerate these herein.
