Ochna jabotapita Linnaeus, Species Plantarum, ed. 2, 1: 732. 1753, nom. illeg.
"Habitat in America meridionali." RCN: 3866.
Type not designated.
Original material: none traced.
Current name: Ouratea plumieri Tiegh. ( Ochnaceae).
Note: An illegitimate later homonym of O. jabotapita Linnaeus (1753), as Linnaeus excluded the type of that name in the protologue. Bittrich & Amaral (in Taxon 43: 91. 1994) stated both that they were designating Plumier (1703: t. 32) as lectotype, and that a Boerhaave copy of it "must be accepted as the lectotype ". It is highly likely that the Boerhaave copy corresponds with Plumier (in Burman, Pl. Amer.: t. 153. 1758) and not the earlier t. 32. They designated the Boerhaave copy as the lectotype of Gomphia Schreber, which falls into the synonymy of Ouratea Aubl.
