Description
Mimosa inga Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 516. 1753.
"Habitat in Brasilia, Jamaica, Surinamo." RCN: 7650.
Lectotype (Bässler in Gleditschia 20: 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).
Current name: Inga vera Willd. (Fabaceae: Mimosoideae).
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 Darwiniana 30: 241. 1991 [1990]) indicated Plumier, Nov. Pl. Genera: 13, t. 19. 1703. as “tipo” for Inga Mill., with M. inga and I. vera Willd. as heterotypic synonyms. However, Plumier’s plate is not cited in the protologue of M. inga, so this statement cannot be interpreted as a typification for this name.
