Wood Anatomy of the Neotropical Sapotaceae. XXXII. Richardella.

Abstract

Richardella and Radlkoferella were both described by Pierre in 1890 and soon became reduced to synonomy in the large genus Lucuma. Baehni (3)3/ in his 1942 monograph of the genus transferred all the species of both genera to Pouteria. In 1961 Aubreville (1) reinstated Richardella and Radlkoferella to generic status and subsequently (2) added two new species from Colombia, Richardella buenaventurensis and Richardella chocoensis. In 1965 Baehni (4) adopted Richardella but made it a pantropical genus containing components of Richardella and several other genera. The name Richardella seems to have priority over Radlkoferella and is characterized by the generic type Richardella macrophylla (Lam.) Aubr.
