Mimosa fagifolia Linnaeus , Species Plantarum 1: 516. 1753 View Cited Treatment .

"Habitat in Barbados." RCN: 7651.

Lectotype ( Bässler in Gleditschia 20: 4. 1992): [icon] "Arbor siliquifera Faginis fol. Americ. fl. comosis" in Plukenet, Phytographia: t. 141, f. 2. 1692; Almag. Bot.: 44. 1696. - Voucher: Herb. Sloane 95: 96 ( BM-SL) .

Current name: Inga laurina (Sw.) Willd. ( Fabaceae : Mimosoideae ).

Note: Inga fagifolia (L.) Willd. ex Benth. , based on M. fagifolia L. , had been widely used for a Latin American taxon not including its type. Howard (Fl. Lesser Antilles 4: 360. 1988) wrongly treated Plukenet material (BM), unseen by Linnaeus, as the type but identified the Plukenet element as I. laurina (Sw.) Willd. Bässler (1992) formally typified the name using the Plukenet plate. The existence of I. fagifolia G. Don (1832) , see Pennington (Genus Inga : 371. 1997), prevents the transfer of M. fagifolia to Inga , meaning that I. laurina (Sw.) Willd. is the correct name.
