Notes

This variety is restricted to the Philippines. It is very close to var. zippeliana from which it differs only in the fruits; in var. zippeliana the fruits are usually ellipsoid- oblong, not subglobose, and have a shorter fruiting pedicel. FB 21074 (the type of G. acuminata) and Sulit 14603, from Samar, deviate in rather small leaves with glossy upper surface.
