Garcinia intermedia is a species of tropical American tree which produces edible fruit.

[2] In English it is known as the lemon drop mangosteen (a name it shares with the closely related and similarly tasting Garcinia madruno) or sometimes monkey fruit.

It has small, whitish flowers which are perfect and makes an attractive ornamental tree, especially when in fruit, which may be year round.

The fruits are smooth spheres about an inch in diameter with a thin yellow, orange, or red rind around a white pulp.

[5] No known medicinal uses, the bark of the tree is rich in tannin, and its wood is valued for construction.
