Multivariate morphometric analysis of Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana var. mangostana, Clusiaceae) and its wild relatives

Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana var. mangostana) is a dioecious and agamospermous cultivated fruit tree. It has two recognised hypothetical wild ancestors, Garcinia mangostana var. malaccensis and G. mangostana var. borneensis, distributed in the lowland dipterocarp-dominated forests of Sumatra, the...
