NOTE. — Hyperdominant in Amazonia ( ter Steege et al. 2020, as T. subincanum Mart. ) Incipiently domesticated by pre-Columbian Amerindians ( Clement 1999; Levis et al. 2017, as T. subincanum ). Cacao guianensis Aubl. is the oldest name for this taxon, thus T. guianense has priority over T. subincanum . Contrary to Cuatrecasas’ statement ( Cuatrecasas, 1964: 391, 564), Martius was the first to make the new combination Theobroma sylvestre (Aubl.) Mart. , before D. Don (1831).
