NOTE. — Pennington (1990: 366) states that the holotype is at P, and that there is an isotype at G-DC. However, there is at G-DC a specimen (G00139668) bearing a label in the hand of Alphonse de Candolle, which reads “ Chrysophyllum Cayennense A. DC.”, as well as another which reads “ Sapotaceae . Cayenne ou Guyane françoise. Museum de Paris 1821 ”. There is no reason not to admit that it is the very specimen to which Candolle refers in the protologue of Chrysophyllum cayennense , in the form “ v. s. comm. a Mus . par. ” (i.e., “an exsiccatum that I saw, given by the Paris Museum”). In other words, the specimen at G-DC (G00139668) must be the holotype.
