Annona reticulata Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 537. 1753.

"Habitat in America meridionali." RCN: 3991.

Lectotype (designated here by Rainer): [icon] "Anona maxima, foliis oblongis angustis, fructu maximo luteo conoide, cortice glabro in areolas distincto" in Sloane, Voy. Jamaica 2: 167, t. 226. 1725. - Typotype: Herb. Sloane 7: 95 (BM-SL) .

Current name: Annona reticulata L. ( Annonaceae).

Note: Fawcett & Rendle (Fl. Jamaica 3: 198. 1914) indicated unspecified material in BM as the type but any material in Herb. Sloane would not have been seen by Linnaeus and is not original material for the name. Although Le Thomas (in Aubréville, Fl. Gabon 16: 327. 1969) indicated unspecified material in LINN as the type, there does not appear to be any material there associated with this name.
