Samara laeta Linnaeus , Mantissa Plantarum Altera: 199. 1771, nom. illeg.

"Habitat in India orientali." RCN: 966.

Replaced synonym: Memecylon umbellatum Burm. f. (1768) .

Type not designated.

Generitype of Samara Linnaeus.

Current name: Embelia laeta (L.) Mez View in CoL ( Myrsinaceae ).

Note: An illegitimate replacement name for Memecylon umbellatum Burm. f. (1768) [ “Menecyclon”]. However, Embelia laeta (L.) Mez is a name in use (e.g. by Pipoly & Chen in Novon 5: 358. 1995) so there may be a case for the conservation of the Linnaean name.
