Mimosa ingaLinnaeus, Species Plantarum1: 516. 1753.
"Habitat in Brasilia, Jamaica, Surinamo." RCN: 7650.
Lectotype( Baesslerin Gleditschia20: 12, Abb. 4. 1992): [icon] "Arbor siliquosa brasiliensis, foliis pinnatis, costa media membranulis utrinque extantibus alata" in Sloane, Voy. Jamaica 2: 58, t. 183, f. 1. 1725. - Typotype: Herb. Sloane 6: 51 ( BM-SL).
Note:Although Leon (in Ann. Missouri Bot. Gard.53: 335, 337. 1966) discussed the Sloane plate and material, no formal typification was published. Hoc (in Darwiniana30: 241. 1991 [1990]) indicated Plumier, Nov. Pl. Genera: 13, t. 19. 1703. as "tipo"for IngaMill., with M. ingaand I. veraWilld.as heterotypic synonyms. However, Plumier'splate is not cited in the protologue of M. inga, so this statement cannot be interpreted as a typification for this name.
