Treatment

Ximenia inermis Linnaeus , Amoenitates Academicae 5: 378. 1760.

["Habitat in Jamaica."] Sp. Pl., ed. 2, 1: 497 (1762). RCN: 2689.

Type not designated.

Original material: none traced.

Current name: Ximenia americana L. ( Olacaceae ).

Note: Sleumer (Fl. Neotropica 38: 90. 1984) claimed that this name is illegitimate as it is based on "Amyris? arborescens" P. Browne (1756) but as Browne did not use binomial nomenclature, X. inermis is not illegitimate.
